1. أَلَم تَرَ دوسَراً مَنَعَت أَخاها

    وَقَد حُشِدَت لِتَقتُلَهُ تَميمُ

    Have you not seen how Dawsar protected her brother,

    While Tamim had been mustered to kill him?

  2. رَأَوا مِن دونِهِ زُرقَ العَوالي

    وَحَيّاً ما يُباحُ لَهُم حَريمُ

    They saw before him the blue tips of lances,

    And a clan whose sanctuary was not open to them.

  3. وَكانَ المُرهِبِيُّ وَفِيَّ حَربٍ

    يَريشُ لَها إِذا نَكَصَ اللَئيمُ

    And al-Murhibi was faithful to war,

    Equipping it when the base man drew back.
