1. ولكنّ المعلّمَ ذقنُ سُرمٍ

    خفيفُ الرأس ليس له دماغُ

    But the teacher is an anus's chin,

    light-headed, with no brain.

  2. وقد دبُغت رؤوسهمُ فأضحت

    نواشفَ قد تحيّفَها الدِّباغُ

    And their heads have been tanned, and have become

    dry, eaten away by tanning.

  3. وما إن كان فيها قطُّ شيءٌ

    فكيف تقولُ أدركَها الفَراغُ

    And there was never anything in them,

    so how can you say emptiness overtook them?

  4. فما لعلوِّ مثلهِمُ مَجازٌ

    ولا لنفاقِ فضلهم مَساغُ

    So there is no way for their like to rise,

    nor any scope for their merit to gain currency.

  5. وقد صيغوا من الحُمُقِ المنَقّى

    ففيهم كلُّ فاحشةٍ تُصاغُ

    And they were cast from refined stupidity,

    so in them every abomination is fashioned.
