Does Rabee'ah promise us in despair,

And in their sides gallop the stallions.

Like she-camels walk around their calves.

كَمَا جَالَت مِنَ البَقَرِ الوُعُولُ

6. If it were not for his restraint towards you, you would have been
Like the people whose tyrants are unjust.

٦. فَلَولاَ كَفُّهُ عَنكُم لَكُنتُم
كَمَن غَالَت مِنَ الأَقوَامِ غُولُ

7. Donkeys traveled, and the clan of their father,
Quda'ah, and the Euphrates is their guide.

٧. لأَسرَت حِميَرٌ وَبَنُو أَبِيهَا
قُضَاعَةُ والفُرَاتُ لَهُم دَلِيلُ
