إِنَّ عَبدونَ أَرضُهُ مَمطورَه

فَهيَ طَوعٌ نَباتُها وَضَرورَه

The land of Abdoon is well-watered,

So its plants grow easily and necessarily.

سَهَّلَ الأَمرَ إِذ تَوَعَّرَ بِالشَع

رِ فَجاءَت سُهولَةً وَوُعورَه

He made things easy when he dug with a shovel,

So it became smooth and passable.

أَعمَلَ النَتفَ وَاِطَّلى وَقَديماً

كانَ صَعباً أَن تُشعَبَ القارورَه

He did his best and strove,

When it used to be hard to pierce the bottle.

لا تُقاتِل كَتائِبَ الشَعَرِ الأَس

وَدِ جَهلاً فَإِنَّها مَنصورَه

Do not fight the regiments of black poetry ignorantly,

For they are victorious.

لَيسَ تُغنى شَيئاً وَلَو كُنتَ قارو

نَ الغِنى وَاِشتَرَيتَ دَربَ النورَه

You will gain nothing even if you were Qaroon, the rich,

And bought the path of light.
