1. If you had seen the women of my tribe
One morn after a night of heavy rain,
١. وَإِنَّكِ لَو رَأَيتِ أُمَيمَ قَومي
غَداةَ قُراقِرٍ لَنَعِمتِ عَينا
2. As they left the dwelling place of Ka'b,
When the fever of heat was allayed,
٢. وَهُنَّ خَوارِجٌ مِن حَيِّ كَعبٍ
وَقَد شُفِيَ الحَرارَةُ وَاِشتَفَينا
3. On a day of 'Uwairidh, beside the east,
At the fortress of Yemen, assembling,
٣. وَقَد صَبَّحنَ يَومَ عُوَيرِضاتٍ
قُبَيلَ الشَرقِ بِاليَمَنِ الحُصَينا
4. And at Mardad we met the flocks,
And from the people of Yamamah asked no wrong.
٤. وَبِالمَرداتِ قَد لاقَينَ غُنماً
وَمِن أَهلِ اليَمامَةِ ما بَغَينا
