We were bereaved of Ibn Ghalib, bearer of blood-money obligations,
We mourn the bearer of blood-money, son of Galib
And defender of Tamim's honor and hurler of taunts.
And protector of Tamim's honor and war-steeds
بَكَيناكِwe wept for you (feminine) حِدثانَat the first onset of الفِراقِparting وَإِنَّماbut only
بَكَيناكِ حِدثانَ الفِراقِ وَإِنَّما
بَكَيناكَwe wept for you (masculine) إِذwhen نابَتbefell أُمورُmatters العَظائِمِgrave calamities

We wept for you when parting was still fresh; yet it was only
We cried for you as newcomers to farewell
When grave calamities struck that we wept for you.
Yet truly we cried when matters of glory declined
فَلاso may no حَمَلَتconceive بَعدَafter اِبنِson of لَيلىLayla مَهيرَةٌa free woman married with a dower
فَلا حَمَلَت بَعدَ اِبنِ لَيلى مَهيرَةٌ
وَلاand may not شُدَّbe tightened أَنساعُgirth straps المَطِيِّthe riding camels الرَواسِمِthe swift-striding ones
وَلا شُدَّ أَنساعُ المَطِيِّ الرَواسِمِ
So may no dowered woman conceive after Ibn Layla,
No mare hence bore after Layla's son glory
Nor may the girths of swift-striding camels be tightened.
Nor girded the riding-beasts for major events
