ولم يُرَ مَعشرٌ في الناس مُردٌ

سمعتُ بهم ولا صُهبُ السِّبالِ

No tribe among men have I seen as unruly as them

I have heard of them, but not seen a trace

تُقَلَّبُ بالسِّياط لها نَحِيطٌ

نَحِيطَ المُحرَضاتِ من السُّعَالِ

They are turned over with whips which surround them

Surrounding the incited ones with coughing fits

وكان مُنَاهُمُ أن يَلحقونا

ببطنِ قَضِيبَ في شهرٍ حَلالِ

And their intent was to catch up with us

In the belly of a penis one lawful month
