1. If you don't know my repeated onslaughts
The people of Hawairith knew my repeated attacks
١. إِن كُنتَ تَجهَلُ مَسعاتي فَقَد عَلِمَت
بَنو الحَوَيرِثِ مَسعاتي وَتَكراري
2. And the living one, the day I afflicted them with grief
A day of time, truly time is bitter
٢. وَالحَيُّ يَومَ أُشَيٍّ إِذ أَلَمَّ بِهِم
يَومٌ مِنَ الدَهرِ إِنَّ الدَهرَ مَرّارُ
3. If it were not for the generosity of Yajawdah and the living one who were in it
The kindling wood of the campfire would not be ignited by it
٣. لَولا يَجودَةُ وَالحَيُّ الَّذينَ بِها
أَمسى المَزالِفُ لا تَذكو بِها نارُ
