1. أَلا ثَكِلَتكَ أُمُّكَ عَبدَ عَمرٍو

    أَبالخِزيات آخَيتَ المُلوكا

    Alas, may your mother lose you, slave of Amr

    You have made friends with despicable kings

  2. هُمُ دَحُّوكَ لِلوَرِكَين دَماً

    وَلَو سَأَلوا لأَعطَيت البُروكا

    They tricked you into shedding blood

    And if they had asked, you would have given them clothes

  3. فَيَومُكَ عِندَ مومَسَةٍ هَلوكٍ

    كَصِلَّ الرَّجع مِزهَرُها ضَحوكا

    So your day is with a wretched prostitute

    Whose smile at daybreak is like wilted flowers
