The patron of the weak victory's cry

ومولى ضعيف النصر ناء محله

1. The patron of the weak victory's cry
I have been hostile to him in ways I should not have been

١. وَمَولى ضَعيفِ النَصرِ ناءٍ مَحَلُّهُ
جَشِمتُ لَهُ ما لَيسَ مِنّي جاشِمُه

2. When he saw me approaching, he raised his voice
Against the spears, and I supported the one who contends with him

٢. إِذا ما رَآني مُقبِلاً شَدَّ صَوتَهُ
عَلى القِرنِ وَاِعلَولى عَلى مَن يُخاصِمُه

3. And I readied a naked sword and lent him my saddle
To one who stirs up trouble or harms a generous man

٣. وَأَجرَدَ مَيّاحٍ وَهَبتُ بِسِرجِهِ
لِمُختَبِطٍ أوذي دَلالٍ أُكارِمُه

4. Because my people have left me exposed, myself and my virtue
And a young man's people are his claws and pillars

٤. عَلى أَنَّ قَومي أَسلَموني وَعُرَّتي
وَقَومُ الفَتى أَظفارُهُ وَدَعائِمُه
