1. The tents of the descendants of Mu'alla
And the noble sons of listening
١. نَمَتكَ قُرومُ أَولادِ المُعَلّى
وَأَبناءُ المَسامِعَةِ الكِرامِ
2. Writhe between Bakr
And Abd al-Qays in kinship, oh Allah
٢. تَخَمَّطُ في رَبيعَةَ بَينَ بَكرٍ
وَعَبدِ القَيسِ في الحَسَبِ اللُهامِ
3. When the clans stand their ground against them
Swords flash between resolute jaws and zeal
٣. إِذا سَمَتِ القُرومُ لَهُم عَلَتهُم
شَقاشِقُ بَينَ أَشداقٍ وَهامِ
