I complained to a people of my time and their kindred

شكوت إلى قوم زماني وأهله

1. I complained to a people of my time and their kindred
Of their indifference to praise and eulogy attired

١. شَكَوتُ إِلى قَومٍ زَماني وَأَهلَهُ
لِزُهدِهِمِ في مَلبَسِ المَدحِ وَالحَمدِ

2. They said: change them for others, and be not confined
I said: The tribe of Sa'd inhabits every vale and height

٢. فَقالوا تَبَدَّل عَنهُمُ بِسِواهُمُ
فَقُلتُ لَهُم في كُلِّ وادٍ بَنو سَعدِ

3. And I swear that Hind alone betrayal in her person tied
Is there among the women of the worlds besides Hind applied?

٣. وَأُقسِمُ ما هِندٌ لَها الغَدرُ وَحدَها
وَهَل في نِساءِ العالَمينَ سِوى هِندِ
