أَمَرَ الأَميرُ بِحاجَتي وَقَضائِها

وَأَبو عُبَيدَةَ عِندَنا مَذمومُ

The prince ordered my need and its fulfillment

And Abu Ubayda is with us, blamed

مِثلُ الحِمارِ إِذا شَدَدتَ بِسَرجِهِ

والى الضُراطَ وَعَضَّهُ الإِبزيمُ

Like a donkey when you tighten its saddle

And it turns to kicking and is bitten by the bridle

أَبَتِ المَوالي أَن تَكونَ صَميمَها

وَنَفَتكَ عَن أَحسابِها مَخزومُ

The female slaves refused to be fully obedient

And denied you from their intimacy, outcast
