سَبَّ الفَرَزدَقُ مِن حَنيفَةَ سابِقاً
إِنَّ السَوابِقَ عِندَها التَبشيرُ
Al-Farazdaq reviled a forerunner from Hanifa.
Indeed, the forerunners have good tidings with them.
وَلَقَد نَهَيتُكَ أَن تَسُبَّ مُخَرِّقاً
وَفِراشُ أُمِّكَ كَلبَتانِ وَكيرُ
And I had warned you against reviling Mukharr(i)q.
And your mother’s bedding is two bitches and a bellows.
يا لَيتَ جارَكُمُ اِستَجارَ مُخَرِّقاً
يَومَ الخُرَيبَةِ وَالعَجاجُ يَثورُ
Would that your neighbor had sought Mukharr(i)q’s protection
On the day of al-Khuraybah, when the dust rose.
