1. فَلا يَصرِمِ اللَهُ اليَمينَ الَّتي عَلَت

    عَلى البُغضِ وَالشَحناءِ أَنفَ لبيدِ

    So may God not sever the right hand that rose

    in hatred and enmity above Labid's nose.

  2. فآبَ بَنو ولدِ استِها بِمُضاعَفٍ

    مِن اللطم لا يُحصونَهُ بِعَديدِ

    So the sons of her arse-born offspring returned with a doubled share

    of slaps, which they cannot number.

  3. نمت بِكَ أَعراقُ الزُبيرِ وهاشِمٍ

    وَعَمروٌ نَمى مِن خالِدِ بن سَعيدِ

    The ancestral roots of al-Zubayr and Hashim have raised you,

    and Amr descended from Khalid son of Sa'id.
