تَلِفَتْ مكاتيبُ الأنامِ بفعلهِ

وأبانَ عن طيشٍ وكثرةِ مَخْرَقهْ

All people's letters came to ruin through his doing;

he laid bare his folly and manifold trickery.

فرمى الأكابرَ والأصاغرَ كاذباً

بالكفر أو بالفسقِ أو بالزندقهْ

He falsely accused the great and the lowly alike

of unbelief, depravity, or heresy.
