سَيَعلَمُ مُرَّةَ حَيثُ كانوا

بِأَنَّ حِمايَ لَيسَ بِمُستَباحِ

They will know one day when they were

That my protection is not violable

وَأَنَّ لَقوحَ جارِهِمِ سَتَغدو

عَلى الأَقوامِ غَدوَةَ كَالرَواحِ

And that Luqman's neighbor will become

Upon the people like the spirits

وَتُضحي بَينَهُم لَحماً عَبيطاً

يُقَسِّمُهُ المُقَسِّمُ بِالقِداحِ

And be slaughtered among them as foolish meat

Distributed by the distributor with cups

وَظَنّوا أَنَّني بِالحِنثِ أَولى

وَأَنّي كُنتُ أَولى بِالنَجاحِ

And they thought I was more inclined to sin

And that I was more deserving of success

إِذا عَجَّت وَقَد جاشَت عَقيراً

تَبَيَّنَتِ المِراضُ مِنَ الصَحاحِ

When it boils and flows turbid

Then diseases become distinct from health

وَما يُسرى اليَدَينِ إِذا أَضَرَّت

بِها اليُمنى بِمُدكَةِ الفَلاحِ

And what the two hands do when they are harmed

By the right with the farmer's hoe

بَني ذُهلِ بنِ شَيبانِ خَذوها

فَما في ضَربَتَيها مِن جُناحِ

O Banu Duhl son of Shayban take it

For in its two strikes there is no escape
