1. Did you not see that Dhubyan and 'Abs
Descended as warriors in the land of Barih
١. أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ ذُبياناً وَعَبساً
لِباغي الحَربِ قَد نَزَلا بَراحا
2. The two said: while we live
We are the sons of 'Amm, united for righteousness
٢. فَقالَ الأَجرَبانِ وَنَحنُ حَيٌّ
بَنو عَمٍّ تَجَمَّعنا صِلاحا
3. We prevented the piercing arrows
Until we were left thrusting with spears
٣. مَنَعنا مَدفَعَ الثَلَبوتِ حَتّى
تُرِكنا راكِزينَ بِهِ الرِماحا
4. We fight for the settlements of Ghatafan when
We feared that they would be disgraced and violated
٤. نُقاتِلُ عَن قُرى غَطَفانَ لَمّا
خَشينا أَن تَذِلَّ وَأَن تُباحا
