أَعباسُ إِنَّ الَّذي بَينَنا

أَبى أَن يُجاوِزَهُ أَربَعُ

Abbas, indeed what is between us

Refused to be crossed by four

عَلائِقُ مِن حَسَبٍ داخِلٍ

معَ الأَلِّ النَسَبُ الأَرفَعُ

Ties of noble lineage from within

Along with the pain, the highest lineage

وَأَنَّ ثَنِيَّةَ رَأسِ الهِجا

بيني وبينك لا تطلع

And that the bend in the head of estrangement between you and I does not rise

And I hate that it comes to me

وَأَبغِض إِلَيَّ بِأَتَيانِها

إِذا أَنا لَم أَنسَها أُدفَعُ

When I do not forget it, I am pushed away
