God has relieved ʿAbd al-Qays of us,
God gave relief to Abdel-Qays from us,
And we likewise find relief from them.
Just as we seek relief from them.

قُبَيِّلَةٌ تَرَدَّدُ في مَعَدٍّ
كَأَنَّas though فُساءَهاits farting فيat الطَفِّal-Ṭaff ريحُa wind
كَأَنَّ فُساءَها في الطَفِّ ريحُ
A petty little tribe roaming among Maʿadd,
An oft defeated tribe in Ma'add wander,
As though its farting at al-Ṭaff were a wind.
As if the stink of their dead fills the plains.
