أَبلِغ بَني عامِرٍ عَنّي مُغَلغَلَةً

أَبلِغ بَني عامِرٍ عَنّي مُغَلغَلَةً

وَقَد تَجيءُ مَعَ الرُكبانِ أَخبارُ

وَقَد تَجيءُ مَعَ الرُكبانِ أَخبارُ

Convey to the sons of Amir a far-reaching message from me;

Convey to the clan of Aamir from me bound

And news may come with the riders:

And news may come with the caravans

أَنَّ اِبنَ عَمرٍ سُهَيلاً كانَ أَلأَمَهُم

أَنَّ اِبنَ عَمرٍ سُهَيلاً كانَ أَلأَمَهُم

عِندَ الهَزاهِزِ بِالسَوءاتِ أَمّارُ

عِندَ الهَزاهِزِ بِالسَوءاتِ أَمّارُ

That Suhayl, son of Amr, was the basest of them,

That the son of Umar, Suhaill was their protector

In times of upheaval, forever urging shameful deeds.

At Al-Hazahiz with evil he is prominent

وَأُمُّهُ خَربَةُ الأُذنَينِ أَهلَكَها

حُبُّ السَفادِ لَدى الرُكبانِ وَالعارِ

حُبُّ السَفادِ لَدى الرُكبانِ وَالعارِ

And his mother, her ears slit, was ruined

And his mother Kharbah, with pierced ears, was destroyed

By her love of coupling among the riders, and of disgrace.

The love of vulgarity among the caravans and shame

كانَت وِلادَةَ سوءٍ ما لَها نَسَبٌ

كانَت وِلادَةَ سوءٍ ما لَها نَسَبٌ

لا في مَعَدٍّ وَلا في الحَيِّ أَصهارُ

لا في مَعَدٍّ وَلا في الحَيِّ أَصهارُ

She was of vile birth, with no lineage—

She was an evil birth, no lineage to her

None in Ma'add, nor any kin by marriage in the tribe.

Neither in Ma'add nor in Hayy, in-laws
