أَلا لِلَّهِ قَومٌ و

لِدَت أُختُ بي سَهمِ

Behold! For God is a tribe whose sister bore

Hisham and Abu Abd Munaf, repeller of opponents,

هِشامٌ وَأَبو عَبدِ

مُنافٍ مِدرَهُ الخَصمِ

And he of the two spears, powers combined and decisive,

These two ward off, and that one who shoots arrows

وَذو الرُمحَينِ أَشباكَ

عَلى القُوَّةِ وَالحَزمِ

From a strong bow, lions made fierce for tearing apart,

And they on the day of Okaz prevented people from fleeing,

فَهَذانِ يَذودانِ

وَذا مِن كَثَبٍ يَرمى

And they who begot are similar in lineage

To the magnificent and great family,

أُسودٌ تَزدَهي الأَقرا

نَ مُنّاعونَ لِلهَضمِ

So if I swear by God and the house of God I swear not falsely,

There are no brothers between the palaces of Syria and Al-Radm

وَهُم يَومَ عُكاظٍ مَ

نَعوا الناسَ مِنَ الهَزمِ

More righteous than the sons of Rayta or heavier in forbearance

وَهُم مَن وَلَدوا أَشبوا

بِسِرِّ الحَسَبِ الضَخمِ

فَإِن أَحلّف وَبَيتِ اللَ

هِ لا أَحلِفُ عَن إِثمِ

لَما مِن إِخوَةٍ بَينَ

قُصورِ الشَأمِ وَالرَدمِ

بِأَزكى مِن بَني رَيطَ

ةٍ أَو أَوزنَ في الحِلمِ
