جاءَني مِن لَدَيه مَروانُ إذ قَف

فيتُ عَنهُ بِخير ما أَحذاني

Marwan came to me when he stopped,

So I bid him goodbye with the best advice.

بِإِفَالٍ عشرينَ قَحَّمَهَا الصَّع

ب بِحُسنِ الإِخاء والخلاَّنِ

With twenty camels whose humps were chopped off by hardship,

Out of goodwill and friendship.

لا صَفَايَا دُهم فأسَمَها الرِّس

لُ ولا جِلَّة قَطيعٍ هِجَان

Neither gray camels, so he called them peppered,

Nor a flock of sheep bleating.
