تَعَشُّقُكَ الكِبارَ يَدُلُّ عِندي

عَلى أَنَّ الرَحا قُلِبَت ثِفالا

Your love for the elders shows me

That all goodness has been overturned in your heart

وَإِلّا فَالصِغارُ أَلَذُّ قُرباً

وَأَشهى إِن أَرَدتَ بِهِم فَعالا

Else the young ones are sweeter in closeness

And more delicious if you want to act with them

مَتى أَبصَرتَ لوطِيّاً صَحيحاً

يُحِبُّ بِأَن يُصادِفَهُم رِجالا

When did you ever see an upright man

Who loves to encounter them, men

ثَكِلتُكَ يا أَخي أَن كُنتَ عِندي

صَحيحَ الأَمرِ لَو نِكتَ البِغالا

Woe to you, my brother, if in my eyes

You were upright, even if you rode on mules
