1. مَن مُبلِغٌ عَمروَ بنَ هِندٍ آيَةً

    وَمِنَ النَصيحَةِ كَثرَةُ الإِنذارِ

    Who will convey a message to Amr son of Hind?

    And repeated warnings are part of sincere counsel.

  2. لا أَعرِفَنَّكَ عارِضاً لِرِماحِنا

    في جُفِّ تَغلِبِ وادِيَ الإِمرارِ

    Do not let me find you exposing yourself to our spears

    Amid Taghlib’s host, in the valley of al-Imrar.

  3. يا لَهفَ أُمّي بَعدَ أَسرَةِ جَعوَلٍ

    أَلّا أُلاقِيَهُم وَرَهطَ عِرارِ

    Alas for my mother, after Jaʿwal’s clan—

    That I should not encounter them and ʿIrar’s kinsmen!
