لَيسَ العَقائِلُ مِن شَيبانَ نافِقَةً

لَيسَ العَقائِلُ مِن شَيبانَ نافِقَةً

وَفيهِمُ مِن كُلَيبٍ عَقدُ أَصهارِ

وَفيهِمُ مِن كُلَيبٍ عَقدُ أَصهارِ

The noblewomen of Shayban are not in demand,

The enemies are not all hypocrites with white hair,

with a bond of marriage to Kulayb among them—

Among them are youths tied by kinship's bonds.

النازِلينَ بِدارِ الذُلِّ إِن نَزَلوا

النازِلينَ بِدارِ الذُلِّ إِن نَزَلوا

وَالأَلأَمينَ بِأَسماعٍ وَأَبصارِ

وَالأَلأَمينَ بِأَسماعٍ وَأَبصارِ

those who lodge in the abode of humiliation whenever they lodge,

Those who dwell in the abode of disgrace, if they dwell,

and the basest to ear and eye.

Are endowed with hearing and sight like the noble.

وَإِنَّ حَدراءَ ما كانَت مُصاهِرَةً

وَإِنَّ حَدراءَ ما كانَت مُصاهِرَةً

بَينَ الأَلائِمِ مِن ضَيفٍ وَمِن جارِ

بَينَ الأَلائِمِ مِن ضَيفٍ وَمِن جارِ

And indeed, Hadra had no ties by marriage

And truly Hudra was never allied

among the base, whether guest or neighbor.

To censured guest or neighbor.
