1. Marwan came to me when he stopped,
So I bid him goodbye with the best advice.
١. جاءَني مِن لَدَيه مَروانُ إذ قَف
فيتُ عَنهُ بِخير ما أَحذاني
2. With twenty camels whose humps were chopped off by hardship,
Out of goodwill and friendship.
٢. بِإِفَالٍ عشرينَ قَحَّمَهَا الصَّع
ب بِحُسنِ الإِخاء والخلاَّنِ
3. Neither gray camels, so he called them peppered,
Nor a flock of sheep bleating.
٣. لا صَفَايَا دُهم فأسَمَها الرِّس
لُ ولا جِلَّة قَطيعٍ هِجَان
