بَنُو شَرَف شَرَفٌ أمُّهُم
وَلَيسَت أبَاكُم فَلا تَكذِبِ
The Banū Sharaf—Sharaf is their mother;
she is not your father, so do not lie.
وَلَكِنَّهَأ التَقَطَت شَيخَكُم
فَأثبِتَ فِي ذَلِكَ المَنصِبِ
But she picked up your patriarch
and installed him in that office.
أبِينُوا لَنَا أُمَّكُم أَوَّلاً
وَنَحنُ نُسَامِحُكُم بِالأَب
First, tell us plainly who your mother is,
and we shall concede you the father.
Sol 5.6
