1. Is it true that Auf bin Malik
With his stomach coming forth, sends me poetry?
١. أَحَقّاً أَتَانِي أَنَّ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ
بِبَطْنِ رَمَى يُهْدِي إليَّ القَوَافِيَا
2. They showed their brotherhood when they wanted to humiliate him
With leather whips, grabbing him by the forelock.
٢. أَبَانُوا أَخاهُمْ إذْ أَرَادُوا زِيَالهُ
بِأَسْوَاطِ قِدٍّ عَاقِدِينَ النَّوَاصِيَا
3. So I gather a group, violent, driving them
To me when the shepherds lead their flocks.
٣. فَأَجْمَعُ أَجْلاساً شِدَاداً يَسُوقُهَا
إلَيَّ إذَا رَاحَ الرِّعَاءُ رِعائِيَا
