يا مُستقرَّ العار والنقصِ

أغنتْ مخازيك عن الفحصِ

O you who settled in disgrace and defect

Your sins have made you exempt from scrutiny

أنت الذي ليست لسوآتِه

ولا لنُعْمى اللَه من مُحصي

You are the one whose wrongdoings

And God's blessings have no counter

لولا أبو الغوث عميدُ العلا

والماجد الحر أبو حفص

Were it not for the great savior, leader of the sublime

And the glorious free man, Abu Hafs

جاءك عني منطقٌ مُمرِضٌ

أدْبَغُ للجلد من العَفْص

You would have received from me a sickening rhetoric

That tans the skin away from the flesh

إني وإن غُيبتُ عن طيِّئٍ

أهل العلا والمجد والقَبْص

Though I was absent from Tayy

The people of glory, honor, and firmness

لواجدٌ فيك بلا فِريةٍ

مشاتماً تُغني عن النصِّ

I found in you, without a doubt

Insults that make scrutiny needless

معايبُ الناس وسوآتُهُم

قد جُمعت لي منك في شخص

People's flaws and wrongdoings

Have been collected by me in you as one person
