1. مُصحَفُ عُثمانَ صاحَ مِن حَنَقٍ

    رافِعُ قَدري ما بالُهُ خَفَضَه

    Uthman’s Qur’an codex cried out in rage:

    The one who raised my standing—why has he lowered it?

  2. الزَنكَلونِيُّ صارَ يَخدِمُني

    يا رَبِّ عَجِّل بِالفَأرِ وَالأَرَضَه

    Al-Zankaluni now serves me.

    O my Lord, bring the mice and termites quickly!

  3. وَاللَهِ ما بي اِنحِطاطُ مَنزِلَتي

    وَإِنَّما بي شَماتَةُ الرَفَضَه

    By God, it is not my loss of standing that troubles me,

    but only the gloating of the Rafidah.
