1. أعْدُو على مالِ بسْطامٍ فأنهْبَهُ

    كما أشاءُ فلا تُثنَى إلىّ يديِ

    Wandering on Bistam's expanse I plunder it

    As I please, so my hands are never turned from me

  2. حتى كأنّي بِسْطامٌ بما احتكمتْ

    فيه يَداي وبسطامٌ أبو الأَسَدِ

    Until it seems as though my hands contended

    Over it, and it is the Bistam of Abu Al-Asad
