Do not turn aside, you two, to the traces of dwellings,
Do not lean towards the dwellings
Do not turn aside for the traces of dwellings,
Effaced at Dhū al-Naqā or Bughayda.
Of Darisat or Dhi Naqah or Bugaidah
Effaced at Dhu al-Naqa or Bughayda,

We did dwell in them for a long time,
We have chanted of them for a long time
For we dwelled within them a long age of time,
And found in them diversion and game.
And gained from them diversion and game
And found therein both amusement and game.

O daughter of the clan, do not be alarmed by misfortune;
O daughter of the tribe, do not be suspicious
O daughter of the tribe, be not startled by doubt,
And stay safe, tender-fingered, graceful one.
And resign to the free-moving sand grouse
And live safe, soft-fingered, in delicate ease.

Do not fear for me the reversals of the nights:
Do not worry for me the passing of nights
Do not fear for my sake the changes of nights,
Indeed, between me and them stands ʿUbayd.
Between them and me are distances

Indeed, between me and them stands Abū ʿAm-
Between them and me is a proud father
And indeed, between me and them is Abu ‘Amr,

Who sufficed me with honor, refuge, and protection
Who sufficed me as glory, as refuge and peak.
