1. أَيُّها التَيسُ الَّذي ما

    مِثلُهُ في العالَمينا

    O he-goat, who has no

    equal in all the worlds!

  2. قَد تَفَرَّدتَ بِجَهلٍ

    فُقتَ فيهِ الجاهِلينا

    You have distinguished yourself by ignorance

    in which you have surpassed the ignorant.

  3. وَكَأَنّي بِكَ تَغدو

    آيَةً لِلسائِلينا

    And I seem to see you becoming

    a sign for those who ask,

  4. مِن صِفاعٍ وَسمُهُ أَن

    يَخرُجَ الداءَ الدَفينا

    through slapping whose hallmark is

    to draw out the buried malady;

  5. يَتَأَتّى لَكَ مِنهُ

    ما يَسُرُّ الناظِرينا

    from it will come to you

    what delights the onlookers.

  6. فَإِذا تَمَ لَنا في

    كَ فَقُل ما شِئتَ فينا

    So, when we have finished with

    you, then say what you will about us.
