فَمَن يَكُ بَينَ هُذَيلِ الخَنا

وَبَينَ ثُمالَةَ لا يَنزِعِ

Who will stand between Hudhayl and Thanumah

And between a people who do not desist

صِغارُ الجَماجِمِ ثُطُّ اللِحى

كَأَنَّهُمُ القَملُ بِالبَلقَعِ

The small-headed with shaggy beards

As though they were lice on a garment

إِذا وَرَدَ الناسُ حَوضَ الرَسولِ

ذَيدَت هُذَيلُ عَنِ المَشرَعِ

When people come to the Prophet's pool

Hudhayl will shy from the open door
