إذا ابن خِيار بدا

فحَيَّ على لَعْنِهِ

When the son of a good man appears

Curse his existence

تَجَلَّلَهُ عبدُه

فأحبله بابنهِ

His servant adorns him

And gives him a son

فجاء به مثلَه

يضاهيه في أفنه

Who comes just like him

Matching him in his traits

وكائن من ابن له

وإن كان لم يُمنهِ

And he has a son from this son

Even if he didn't wish for him

فيا من رأى والداً

بنوه بنو بَطْنهِ

So you who saw a father

Whose sons are sons of his loins

له سائسٌ أيِّرٌ

يجولُ على مَتنه

He has a mounted guard

Roving around on his back

فيطعنُ في دُبرهِ

أَفانينَ من طَعْنه

Stabbing him in the back

With stabs that destroy him

بأطولَ من قرنهِ

وأغلظ من ذهنه

With what's longer than his horn

And thicker than his skull
