قالوا السعيد تعاطى بغله نزقاً

فزل عنه وأهل ذاك للزلل

They said the fortunate one slipped from his mule

So he dismounted while that was prone to missteps

فقل له لا أقال الله عثرته

ولا سقته بنات العارض الهطل

Say to him may God not lessen his stumbling

Nor quench it with rain from passing clouds

أبغضت بالطبع أم المؤمنين ولم

تحبب أباها فجاءت وقعة الجمل

By nature you hated the Mother of the Faithful and did not

Love her father, so came the Battle of the Camel
