1. أَفاريقُ أَوزاعٌ وَعَمٌّ أُشابَةٌ

    وَبَكرٌ عَلَيهِ آلَةُ الضَأنِ أَدبَرُ

    Scattered bands and a motley throng,

    And Bakr, bearing sheep’s gear, is saddle-sore.

  2. لَهُم سَيِّدٌ لَم يَرفَعِ اللَهُ ذِكرَهُ

    أَزَبُّ غُضونُ الساعِدَينِ غَضَنفَرُ

    They have a chief whose renown God has not exalted—

    Shaggy in the folds of his forearms, a lion.
