The tribe's camels carried of treasures from my father Dulaf.
١. لَقَد سَأَلتُ أَبا لَيلى بِما حَمَلَت
زَوامِلُ القَومِ مِن نُعمى أَبي دُلَفِ
2. "Do not allow the coward enemy with any power,
For he is a traitor that deserves only contempt."
٢. أَلّا يُمَكِّنَ لُؤمَ المَطلِ مِن عِدَةٍ
فَإِنَّهُ خَلَفٌ يُزرى عَلى الخَلَفِ
