1. لا تَترُكَنكُم ذورُ عَينِ وَسَكسَكٌ

    وَلا مِن سَكونٍ بَيتِ سَعدِ بنِ عامِرِ

    Dhu Ruʿayn and Saksak shall not leave you,

    nor, from Sakun, the house of Saʿd son of ʿAmir,

  2. وَلا ذو الكَلاعِ الطالِبونَ بِثَأرِهِم

    إِذا أَمكَنَتهُم وَثبَةُ المُتَقاصِرِ

    nor Dhu al-Kalaʿ, who seek their vengeance,

    when the crouching one's leap becomes possible for them.

  3. وَلا يافِعٌ تُغضي وَلا هيَ تَرخُمٍ

    وَمِن ذي نُواسِ كُلُّ أَبلَجَ واغِرِ

    Nor will Yafiʿ lower its gaze, nor will Tarkhum,

    and from Dhu Nuwas, every bright-browed man seething with anger.
