1. Who will convey to Amr bin Hind an ayah,
And abundant advice is manifold warning,
١. مَن مُبلِغٌ عَمروَ بنَ هِندٍ آيَةً
وَمِنَ النَصيحَةِ كَثرَةُ الإِنذارِ
2. I will not recognize you opposing our spears
In the dryness of Taghlib and the Imrar valley,
٢. لا أَعرِفَنَّكَ عارِضاً لِرِماحِنا
في جُفِّ تَغلِبِ وادِيَ الإِمرارِ
3. Oh my mother's ardour after the captives of Ja'wal!
If only I would meet them and the kin of Irar!
٣. يا لَهفَ أُمّي بَعدَ أَسرَةِ جَعوَلٍ
أَلّا أُلاقِيَهُم وَرَهطَ عِرارِ
