مالي قليل وكسبي ليس ينفعني

وقد بُليتُ بأقوام مفاليسِ

I have little wealth and my earnings do not benefit me

I have been afflicted by bankrupt people

ما منهمُ أحدٌ يُرجى لنائله

وكيف ترجى عظامٌ في النَّواويسِ

None of them can be hoped for by their seeker

And how can one hope for bones in the graves

رد بدر تميم في عطيتِهم

وفي السفاهة هم اخوان ابليسِ

May Badr Tamim return in his generosity

And in folly they are the brothers of Iblis

الخبز عندهُمُ في وقت بيدرهم

أعزُّ من نَورَةٍ في عهد بلقيسِ

Bread with them at the time of their pride

Is dearer than An-Nawarah during the era of Bilqis
