1. وانمار وإن رغِمت أنوفٌ

    معديو العمومة والخؤولِ

    Though he refused,

    the generality deceivers and simpletons,

  2. وعمرو بن الخُثارم كان طبا

    بنسبتهم وتصديقاً لقيلي

    Amr ibn al-Kuthayyir was good

    in their lineage and my words he believed,

  3. وليس ابن الخُثارم كان طبا

    بمقصي المحلِّ ولا دخيلِ

    And not because ibn al-Kuthayyir was good

    in his land or an outsider,

  4. لهم لغة تبيَّنُ من أبوهم

    مع الغرر الشوادخ والحُجُولِ

    They have a language that shows their father

    along with the outstanding and ignorant.
