1. Our sons were amazed at what we did
When we sold horses for flimsy cloaks
١. عَجِبَت أَبناؤُنا مِن فِعلِنا
إِذ نَبيعُ الخَيلَ بِالمِعزى اللِجابِ
2. They knew we faced an insurmountable obstacle
Other than what Suhair son of Kilab said
٢. عَلِموا أَنَّ لَدَينا عُقبَةً
غَيرَ ما قالَ صُعَيرُ بنُ كِلابِ
3. It was incumbent upon us
To ravage the possessions of the people
٣. إِنَّما كانَت بِنا مَوصولَةً
أَكلُ الناسِ بِها أَحرى النِهابِ
