تَقولُ حَليلَتي لَمّا اِشتَكَينا

تَقولُ حَليلَتي لَمّا اِشتَكَينا

سَيُدرِكُنا بَنو القَرمِ الهِجانِ

سَيُدرِكُنا بَنو القَرمِ الهِجانِ

My wife said, when we voiced our woes,

My wife said when we complained,

“The sons of the noble, purebred sire will reach us.”

"The savage Quraysh clan will overtake us."

فَقُلتُ اِدعي وَأَدعو إِنَّ أَندى

فَقُلتُ اِدعي وَأَدعو إِنَّ أَندى

لِصَوتٍ أَن يُنادِيَ داعِيانِ

لِصَوتٍ أَن يُنادِيَ داعِيانِ

So I said, “Call, and I shall call too; for greater reach

So I said, "Pray, and I will pray that the dew

comes to a voice when two callers call.”

Will dampen the sound of two callers.”
