خالفني أشهبُ في مذهبي

خالفني أشهبُ في مذهبي

ومالكٌ وافقَه أشهبُ

ومالكٌ وافقَه أشهبُ

Ashhab disagreed with me about my approach.

A pale-skinned man disputes my creed

And Ashhab agreed with Malik.

While Malik agrees with pale-skin's ways

فمذهبي مخترعٌ نادرٌ

فمذهبي مخترعٌ نادرٌ

وسرقُ الشعر له مذهبُ

وسرقُ الشعر له مذهبُ

So my approach is original and rare,

My creed is uniquely made, so rare

and stealing poetry is his approach.

Plagiarizing verses is pale-skin's creed
