1. He wants to betray me, and Wahb seeks
From Allah, vindication and safety.
١. يريد خيانتي وهب وأرجو
من اللَه البراءة والأَمانا
2. Indeed, Allah knows me and Wahb,
And knows we will both meet Him.
٢. فَإِنَّ اللَهَ يَعلَمُني وَوهباً
وَيَعلَمُ أَن سَنَلقاهُ كِلانا
3. And Banu Rabi'ah after Wahb,
Like caretakers of the house, will guard it if he betrays.
٣. وَأَنَّ بَني رَبيعَةَ بَعدَ وَهبٍ
كَراعي البَيتِ يَحفَظُهُ فَخانا
4. But the cattle, when visited by
Dry years, leave it thin.
٤. وَلَكِنَّ الدُحولَ إِذا أَتاها
عجافُ المالِ تَترُكُهُ سِمانا
