1. أَظَنَّت بَنو بَكرٍ كِتابَ مُحَمَّدٍ

    كَإِرمائِها مِن أَوفَضٍ وَرَصافِ

    Did Banu Bakr suppose Muhammad’s written pact

    was like their shooting from quivers and sinew-bound arrows?

  2. لَأَنتُم بِحَملِ المُخزِياتِ وَجَمعِها

    أَحَقُّ مِنا اِن تَستَجمِعوا لِعَفافِ

    Surely you are more deserving of bearing disgraceful deeds and gathering them

    than we, if you rally for chastity.

  3. فَقالوا عَلى خَطِّ النَبِيِّ فَأَصبَحوا

    أَثلى بِنَعلي بِغضَةٍ وَقِرافِ

    Then they spoke against the Prophet’s writing, and became

    the poorer for the two sandals of Bighdah and Qiraf.
