Whoever asks about me, I am

من يك سائلا عني فإني

1. Whoever asks about me, I am
The son of hunters, my ancestors being Thaqif.

١. مَن يَكُ سائِلاً عَنّي فَإِنّي
أَنا اِبنُ الصِّيدِ مَن سَلَفَيْ ثَقيفِ

2. And in the middle of the plain is my home,
The home of the lion from the middle of the cliff.

٢. وَفي وَسَطِ البِطاحِ مَحَلُّ بَيتي
مَحَلُّ اللَيثِ مِن وَسَطِ الغَريفِ

3. And in Kaab and whoever is like Kaab,
I made lawful the gazelle of the lofty mountain.

٣. وَفي كَعبٍ وَمَن كَالحَيِّ كَعبٍ
حَلَلتُ ذُؤابَةَ الجَبَلِ المُنيفِ

4. I protected its pride in the valley and plateau,
And that is the epitome of the honor of the noble one.

٤. حَوَيتُ فَخارَها غَوراً وَنَجداً
وَذلِكَ مُنتَهى شَرَفِ الشَريفِ

5. I am the hunter of every prey, not weak,
By carrying the firm spears, and not violent.

٥. نَماني كُلُّ أَصيَدَ لا ضَعيفٍ
بِحَملِ المُعضِلاتِ وَلا عَنيفِ
