Sol 6.1

  1. I came to your door repeatedly [probable reading], so that you might admit me.

    But permission to pass the door was withheld from me.

  2. If you bar us, taking pride in the wolf,

    Then, by my life, your father indeed spoke to the wolf.

  3. What, then, if he had spoken to the mauling lion?

    You would have left people as food and drink.

  4. This al-Sunaydi, whose ugliness cannot be hidden,

    Speaks to the elephant, upward and downward.

  5. I am a man of Quraysh [probable reading], rooted in its stock;

    My enemies cannot refute me.

  6. Nor is intermarriage with Abyssinians among my ways,

    Nor will you ever see my face's color pitch-black [probable reading].

  7. Be gone! I shall not come to you, nor

    Be found at your door, seeking or sought.
