يا جاعِل النِّيلِ صِبْغَ جِلْدَتِهِ

ذا نَسَبٍ باليَدَيْنِ مُفْتَعَلُ

O maker of the Nile with its dark blue hue

Of suspect lineage, artificially assumed

ويا غريقًا بنيِلِ مِصْرَ ولَمْ

يَمَسَّ أَثوابَهُ ولا البَلَلُ

O you who drowned in the Nile of Egypt, yet

Neither your clothes nor body got wet

ما أَنت مِمَّنْ يُحِبُّ عائِشَةً

هذا على أَنَّ ظَهْرَكَ الجَمَلُ

You are not one who loves Aisha

Despite your back being that of a camel

لقد تَجرَّأْتَ في مجادلتي

فاثبُتْ لما جَرَّهُ لك الجَدَلُ

You have dared to argue with me

So stand firm for what your debate has brought you

نازَعْتَنِي في الذي عَلِمْتَ به

فَاترُكْ حديثَ النساءِ يا رَجُلُ

You disputed with me about what you knew

So cease talking of women, O man

قُلْتَ أَنا المُشْتَرِي ووَجْهُكَ قد

أَقْسَمَ أَلْفاً بأَنَّهُ زُحَلُ

You said you are the buyer, yet your face

Has sworn a thousand oaths that it is Saturn
