By your life, Kulaib—when he lowered
By your life, Kulayb, when he lowered
his dog with his rope, who then could draw water?—
his dog on a rope among those drawing water,

was no greater in tyranny than the sons of Sufyan;
and every foe of theirs drives captured herds home from them at dusk.
and every enemy of theirs is untroubled by them.
