قَد غَضِبَت بِنتُ النُمَيرِيَّةِ

وَلي سِواها أَلفُ سُرِّيَّه

The daughter of Numayriya has become angry with me

While I have a thousand other secret loves

إِذا غَدَت يَوماً إِلى حاجَةٍ

سارَت عَلى أَلفَينِ جُنَّيَّه

If she goes out one day for something she needs

She rides on two thousand demons

وَإِن جَرى ذِكري لَها أَعرَضَت

وَمَسَحَت ذِكري بِلا نِيَّه

And if my name is mentioned to her she turns away

And wipes out my name without intention

وَضاحِكَت بِنتاً لَها غَثَّةً

وَجارَةً عَرجاءَ قَسرِيَّه

She laughs at a vulgar, uncouth girl

And a lame, hunchbacked neighbor

يَظُنُّها الشَيعَةُ بابَ الهُدى

وَخَلفَ ذاكَ البابِ بَرِّيَّه

Her followers think she is the door of guidance

But behind that door is only wickedness
