لعَمري لقد جاءَ العِرَاقَ كثيرٌ

بأحدُوثَةٍ من وحيه المُتَكذِّبِ

For my life, many have come to Iraq

With innovations from his disputed inspiration

أيزعُمُ أنِّي من كِنانَةَ أوِّلي

وما لي من أُمٍّ هناكَ ولا أبِ

Do they claim that I am from the first Kinanah

When I have here neither mother nor father

فإن كنتَ حُرّاً أو تخاف مَعَرَّةً

فَخذ ما أخذتَ من أميركَ واذهَبِ

So if you are free or fear disgrace

Then take what you took from your prince, and be off
