يَعيبُ عَلَيَّ أَن سُمّيتُ نَفسي

وَقَد أَخَذَ القَنا مِنهُم وَمِنّا

He criticizes me for naming myself

But disease has taken some of them and some of us

فَقُل لِلعِلجِ لَو لَم أُسمِ نَفسي

لَسَمّاني السِنانُ لَهُم وَكَنّى

Tell the impaired man, if I hadn't named myself

Their teeth would have named me and sufficed
