1. يا مَن بِدرهِم مكسه مَغرُورُ

    إخسَأ فإنكَ بيننا مَقهورُ

    O you, puffed up by a dirham from your levy,

    Begone! For among us you are vanquished.

  2. عارٌ على السَّرسارِ يَجهلُ قَرهُ

    والقدرُ منه عِندنا مَشهُورُ

    Shame on the cockroach that does not know its worth (probable reading),

    And its worth is well known to us.
