1. وَإِنّا أُناسٌ ما تَزالُ سُوامُنا

    تُنَوِّرُ نيرانَ العَدوِّ مَناسِمُه

    And we are a people whose grazing herds are ever

    Lighting up the enemy’s fires with their hooves.

  2. وَلَيسَ لَنا حَيٌّ نُضافُ إِلَيهِمُ

    وَلَكِن لَنا عودٌ شَديدٌ شَكائِمُه

    And we have no tribe to which we are attached;

    But ours is an old camel, unyielding to the bit.
