You left your neighbor to the sons of Sulaym

تركتم جاركم لبني سليم

1. You left your neighbor to the sons of Sulaym
Fearing their war, out of weakness and disgrace

١. تَرَكْتُمْ جَارَكُمْ لِبَنِي سُلَيْمٍ
مَخَافَةَ حَرْبِهِمْ عَجْزاً وَهُونَا

2. If only a rope were extended from ‘Uqayl
It would extend a strong rope

٢. فَلَوْ حَبْلاً تَنَاوَلَ من عُقيلٍ
لَمَدَّ بِحَبْلِهَا حَبْلاً مَتِينَا

3. The Qurtaa’ - they would not submit him
Nor fulfill a promise, for they have no fidelity

٣. أوِ القُرَطاءِ ما إِنْ أَسْلَمُوهُ
وقِدْماً ما وَفَوْا إذْ لا تَفُونَا
