1. I swear if it were not for the arrows of Ibn Muharraq
With Allah I would not have counted many of my relatives
١. فَأُقسِمُ لَولا أَسهَمَ اِبنُ مُحَرَّقٍ
مَعَ اللَهِ ما أَكثَرتُ عَدَّ الأَقارِبِ
2. I left the son of Ush raising his head
Bending with a leg whose ankle is unsteady
٢. تَرَكتُ اِبنَ عُشٍّ يَرفَعونَ بِرَأسِهِ
يَنوءُ بِساقٍ كَعبُها غَيرُ راتِبِ
3. And I ended them without an inheritance
Of meat until they disappeared into the unknown
٣. وَأَنهاهُمُ خَلعي عَلى غَيرِ ميرَةٍ
مِنَ اللَحمِ حَتّى غُيِّبوا في الغَوائِبِ
