1. أَبْلَغْ بَنِي زَيْدٍ إذا ما لَقِيتَهُمْ

    وَأَبْلِغْ بَنِي لُبْنَى وَأَبْلِغْ تُمَاضِرَا

    Tell the sons of Zayd when you meet them,

    and tell the sons of Lubna, and tell Tumadir,

  2. وَأَبْلِغْ ولا تَتْرُكْ بَنِي ابْنَةَ مِنْقَرٍ

    أُفَقِّرُهُمُ إِنِّي أُفَقِّرُ نابِرَا

    and tell—do not leave out—the sons of Minqar’s daughter:

    I brand them with satire; indeed, I brand them, raising my voice.

  3. أَحْنَظَلُ لو كنتمْ كِرَامًا صَبَرْتُمُ

    وَحُطْتُمْ ولا يُلْقَى التَّمِيمِيُّ صَابِرَا

    O Hanzala, had you been noble, you would have stood firm,

    and given protection; but no Tamimi is found steadfast.
