1. You threaten my family and left a rock
On which a raven spills the blackness of its eyes
١. أَتوعِدُ أُسرَتي وَتَرَكتَ حُجراً
يُريغُ سَوادَ عَينَيهِ الغُرابُ
2. They refused the religion of kings, so they are a tribe
That answers when called to war
٢. أَبَوا دينَ المُلوكِ فَهُم لِقاحٌ
إِذا نُدِبوا إِلى حَربٍ أَجابوا
3. If you had met `Ilbā' ibn Qays
You would have been satisfied with the spoils of just a cloak
٣. فَلَو أَدرَكتَ عِلباءَ بنَ قَيسٍ
قَنِعتَ مِنَ الغَنيمَةِ بِالإِيابِ
