1. You mocked me that my mother is an ignorant woman
And do the eminent in a tribe give birth other than to ignorant ones?
١. أَعَيَّرتُموني أَنَّ أُمّي تَريعَةٌ
وَهَل يُنجِبَن في القَومِ غَيرُ التَرائِعِ
2. And the seeker of strings is none other than the son of a free woman
Tall, of high lineage by the sword, bare of forelocks
٢. وَما طالِبُ الأَوتارِ إِلّا اِبنُ حُرَّةٍ
طَويلُ نَجادِ السَيفِ عاري الأَشاجِعِ
