1. أَلا تِلكَ العَمودُ تَصُدُّ عَنّا

    كَأَنّا في الرَخيمَةِ مِن جَديسِ

    Lo, that tribe turns away from us,

    as though we were of Jadis in al-Rakhimah.

  2. لَحى الرَحمَنُ أَقواماً أَضاعوا

    عَلى الوَعواعِ أَفراسي وَعيسي

    May the All-Merciful curse the men who squandered

    my horses and my pale camels at al-Wa‘wa‘.

  3. وَنَصبُ الحَيِّ قَد عَطَّلتُموهُ

    وَنَقرٌ بِالأَثامِجِ وَالوُكوسِ

    And the tribe’s standing stone you have left neglected,

    and Naqr, at al-Athamij and al-Wukus.
