ضربَ التجيبيُّ المضلَّلُ ضربةً
ردّت بناتةَ في بني شيبانا
The deluded Tujībī struck a blow
The misguided Al-Tajeebee struck a blow
that sent Banāta back among the sons of Shaybān.
That echoed among the maidens of Bani Shaybana
والعائذيُّ لمثلها متوقع
لمّا يكن وكأنه قد كانا
And the ʿĀʾidhī awaits another like it—
And the refugee, expecting the same for himself
not yet come, yet as though it had already been.
As though it had actually happened
