1. Amr has antagonized me, and to Amr I'm an easy prey
Like a desert hare exposing itself to a furious lion
١. تَعَرَّضَ لي عَمرٌو وَعَمروٌ لي خِزايَةٌ
تَعَرُّضَ ضَبعِ القَفرِ لِلأَسَدِ الوَردِ
2. He's no equal of mine that I should abuse his honor
Nor is he my slave that I should tyrannize the slave
٢. وَما هُوَ لي نِدٌّ فَأَشتِمَ عِرضَهُ
وَلا هُوَ لي عَبدٌ فَأَبطِشَ بِالعَبدِ
