وَهواكَ مَجنوبٌ بِأُمِّ عُوَيمرٍ

أَنّى تَقُدهُ بِالصَبابَةِ يَنقَدِ

He is smitten with love for Umayma's mother,

How can you lead him there with deception?

وَإِذا خَبرتَهُم خَبَرتَ سَماحَةً

وَشَراعَةً تَحت الوَشيجِ الموردِ

When you get to know them, you'll find

Generosity and hospitality beneath the leafy branches.

صُدقٌ إِذا وَعَد الرِجالُ وَأَوعَدوا

بِأَحبِّ بادِرَةٍ وَأَوفى مَوعِدِ

Truthful are men when they make and keep a promise,

With the dearest pledge and the most faithful appointment.
