لَستَ مِنَ المَعشَرِ الأَكرَمي

نَ لا عَبدِ شَمسٍ وَلا نَوفَلِ

You are not of the noblest stock,

No worshipper of the sun nor Nufailite,

وَلَيسَ أَبوكَ بِساقي الحَجي

جَ فَاِقعُد عَلى الحَسَبِ الأَرذَلِ

Nor is your father a water-carrier of pilgrims.

So sit on the most inferior lineage.

وَلَكِن هَجينٌ مَنوطٌ بِهِم

كَما نُوِّطَت حَلقَةُ المِحمَلِ

But you are a mongrel tied to them,

As the nose ring is tied to the camel's nose.

تَجيشُ مِنَ اللُؤمِ أَحسابُكُم

كَجَيشِ المُشاشَةِ في المِرجَلِ

Your calculations seethe with vileness,

Like the seething of mash in a cooking pot.

فَلَو كُنتَ مِن هاشِمِ في الصَمي

مِ لَم تَهجُنا وَرِكَي مُصطَلي

If you were from Hashim despite your defiance,

You would not disparage us, headstrong rascal.
