1. أَرى فِتنَةً قَد أَلهَتِ الناسَ عَنكُمُ

    فَندَلاً زَريقَ المالِ نَدلَ الثَعالِبَ

    I see turmoil that has distracted the people from you;

    so snatch the wealth, Zariq, as foxes do.

  2. فَإِنَّ ابنَ عَجلانَ الَّذي قَد عَلِمتُمُ

    يُبَدِّدُ مالَ اللَهِ فِعلَ المَناهِبِ

    For Ibn Ajlan, whom you already know,

    squanders God's wealth as plunderers do.
