إنَّ ابن بلبلَ نخلةٌ

لانتْ لصقرٍ من وراءِ

The son of a nightingale is a palm tree

That does not bow to the falcon from behind

ذاكَ الذي نسخَ الإجا

رةَ بالوزارة للقضاءِ

The one who copied progress

With the ministry for the judiciary

ملكَ الرَّجالَ بعزَّةٍ

مِلْكَ الرجالِ الأقوياءِ

He ruled men with pride

The rule of strong men

ولَطَالَ ما ملكَ الرجا

لَ بذلّةٍ مثل النساءِ

And for long he ruled men

With humiliation like women

أضحتْ سعادتُه له

رَهناً مَليّاً بالشقاءِ

His happiness has become for him

A bad pledge for misery

عْبدُ الندى ملكُ الحجا

ب تُراهُ جبّارَ اللقاءِ

Abdul Nadaa, king of the robe you see him

The mighty meeting

يهوي سَفالاً في الحضي

ضِ وأنفهُ فوقَ السماءِ

Falling despicably in the courtyard and his nose above the sky
