مَن عالَ مِنّا بَعدَها فَلا اِجتَبَر

مَن عالَ مِنّا بَعدَها فَلا اِجتَبَر

وَلا سَقى ماءً وَلا راءَ الشَجَر

وَلا سَقى ماءً وَلا راءَ الشَجَر

Whoever among us falls into poverty after this, may he never recover,

Those who climbed after him could gain no honor,

Nor draw water, nor see the trees.

Nor drink water, nor see a single tree.

بَنو لُجَيمٍ وَجَعاسيسُ مُضَر

بَنو لُجَيمٍ وَجَعاسيسُ مُضَر

بِجانِبِ الدَوِّ يُدَهدونَ العَكَر

بِجانِبِ الدَوِّ يُدَهدونَ العَكَر

The sons of Lujaym and the contemptible little men of Mudar

The tribes of Lujaim and Jasaas, descended from Mudar,

Drive the camel herds along the edge of al-Daww.

At the side of the vat, stirring the dregs.
