سالَت هُذَيلٌ رَسولَ اللَهِ فاحِشَةً

ضَلَّت هُذَيلٌ بِما سالَت وَلَم تُصِبِ

Huthayl asked the Messenger of Allah an obscene question,

Huthayl went astray with what they asked, and did not hit the mark,

سالوا رَسولَهُمُ ما لَيسَ مُعطِيَهُم

حَتّى المَماتِ وَكانوا سُبَّةَ العَرَبِ

They asked their Messenger what he would not grant them

Until death, and they were the outcasts of the Arabs,

وَلَن تَرى لِهُذَيلٍ داعِياً أَبَداً

يَدعو لِمَكرُمَةٍ عَن مَنزِلِ الحَربِ

And you will never see anyone calling upon Huthayl,

Calling for an honor from the abode of war,

لَقَد أَرادوا خِلالَ الفُحشِ وَيحَهُمُ

وَأَن يُحِلّوا حَراماً كانَ في الكُتُبِ

They certainly wanted indecency and their foolishness,

And to make lawful what was forbidden in the books.
