1. تَوَلّى مَعشَرٌ مِنهُم ضعافٌ

    وَقامَ بِها الغَطاريفُ الكِبارُ

    A band of weak men among them turned away,

    And the great nobles took charge of it.

  2. سَيَحمِلُها الطوالُ مِن آلِ قُرطٍ

    إِذا ما عَرَّدَ السُودُ القِصارُ

    The tall men of the house of Qurt will bear it,

    When the short black men flee.
