قل للمسمَّى بما تكنى الكلاب به

قولاً سيلحقه عاراً فيلحقُهُ

Say to the one called what dogs are nicknamed with

Words that will bring him shame that will afflict him

يا مبتلىً ببلاءٍ لا ثواب له

يوم الحساب ولكن سوف يوبقه

O you afflicted with an affliction that has no reward

On the Day of Judgement, but it will make him perish

ما قلت فيك هجاء خلته كذباً

إلا بدت منك سوءات تحققه

What I said about you was not slander made up

Except your evils appeared that prove it

أنَّى اجتبيت أبا حفص وصحبته

حتى غدوت تؤاخيه فتصدقه

How did you choose Abu Hafs and befriend him

Until you became like brothers and believed him

بالله ربك هل شبَّهت صلعته

برأس أير عظيم كنت تعشقه

By God your Lord, did you compare his baldness

To the head of a great donkey that you loved
