1. The people of Banu Lihian have truly been shamed by me,
By the grace of God, in clear dishonor.
١. لَقَد أَمسى بَنو لِحيانَ مِنّي
بِحَمدِ اللَهِ في خِزىٍ مُبينِ
2. I repaid them for attacking my people,
The people of Banu Lihian, so they would not fight me again.
٢. جَزَيتُهُم بِما أَخَذوا تِلادي
بَني لِحيانَ كَيلا يَحرَبوني
3. I followed their footsteps as a guide,
And they fled into Hejaz to evade me.
٣. تَخِذتُ غَرازَ إِثرَهُم دَليلاً
وَفَرّوا في الحِجازِ لِيُعجِزوني
4. And I have united the people of al-‘Arj among them
With the people of Suwaik, when they united against me.
٤. وَقَد عَصَّبتُ أَهلَ العَرجِ مِنهُم
بِأَهلِ صُوائِقٍ إِذ عَصّبوني
