قالوا هجاك أبو حفص فقلت لهم

تأنَّ في بيته من سوف يردعُهُ

They said Abu Hafs reviled you, so I said to them,

"Wait, for in his house is one who will restrain him.

ما حاز منزله عرساً ولا أمة

إلا ومن أجل هجوي سوف يصفعه

He has not hosted a wedding nor owned a slave girl,

Without my satire making sure to slap him."
