1. صَقعَبُ والِدٌ لِأَبيكَ قَينٌ

    لَئيمٌ حَلَّ في شُعَبِ الأُرومِ

    Ṣaqʿab, your father's father, is a smith,

    A base man who settled among the branches of ancestral stock.

  2. وَبَطنَ حُباشَةَ السَوداءَ عَدِّد

    وَسائِل كُلَّ ذي حَسَبٍ لَئيمِ

    And count the offspring of black Ḥubāsha,

    And ask everyone of ignoble lineage.

  3. يُسَمّونَ المُغيرَةَ وَهوَ ظُلمٌ

    وَيُنسى دَيسَمُ الإِسمِ القَديمِ

    They call him al-Mughīra, and that is an injustice,

    And Daysam, the old name, is forgotten.
