Do you boast after the sons of Qushayr,
Do you still boast, O son of Qushayr,
while you are an effeminate man, with crookedness in you?
Though you are an effeminate man, twisted of mind,
تُعاديyou assail فيin الصَباحِthe morning عَمودَa shaft فَروٍfur
تُعادي في الصَباحِ عَمودَ فَروٍ
كَماjust as تَعدوrush عَلىat القِدرِthe pot الدَجاجُchickens

In the morning you assail a fur-clad shaft,
In the morning you attack the pillar of fur,
as chickens rush at the pot.
As a rooster attacks the cooking pot.
