1. The son of Salma, beware, with him lies my blood
Alas! No hope with the son of Salma, nor my blood
١. إِنَّ اِبنَ سَلمى فَاِعلَموا عِندَهُ دَمي
وَهَيهاتَ لا يُرجى اِبنُ سَلمى وَلا دَمي
2. He wanders in the folds of valleys, belonging to none
In a place not frequented, with thorns overgrown
٢. يُحِلُّ بِأَكنافِ الشِعابِ وَيَنتَمي
مَكانَ الثُرَيّا لَيسَ بِالمُتَهَضِّمِ
3. He attacked me, no fear in him, fierce and bold
In the evening they pitched their tents, midst ruins untold
٣. رَماني وَلَم يَدهَش بِأَزرَقَ لَهذَمٍ
عَشِيَّةَ حَلّوا بَينَ نَعفٍ وَمَخرَمِ
