1. فَسائِلُ جَحجَبي وَبَني عَدِيٍّ

    وَتيمَ اللاتِ مَن عَقَدَ الخِزاما

    So ask Jahjabi and the sons of 'Adi,

    and Taym al-Lat: who fastened the nose-rings?

  2. فَأَنَّا قَد جَمَعنا جَمعَ صِدقٍ

    يُفَرِّجُ عَن مَناكِبِهِ الزِحاما

    For we have indeed gathered a steadfast host

    that clears the throng away from its shoulders.
