أَرى يَحيى تَعَرَّضَ لي بِسوءٍ

تَعَرُّضَ عَقرَبٍ ولعت بِحَيَّه

I see Yahya has treated me poorly

With the malice of a scorpion that stung at his throat

أَيَطمَعُ أَنَّني أَهجوهُ كَلّا

كَفاني أَن يُقالَ أَخو رُقَيَّه

Does he hope that I will satirize him? Never!

It is enough that he's called the brother of Ruqayyah
