لا يَقطَعُ اللَّهُ اليَمينَ الَّتي رَمَت

عَلى قَضْبَةٍ قَد لانَ وَاِشتَدَّ عودُها

God will not break the oath she swore

On a bow that was bent and its cord pulled taut.

رَماها بِمَطرورِ أَمازِقَ بَينها

عَلى عَدواءَ وَالعُتَيْرُ يَقودُها

She shot it with a thick-feathered arrow

At enemies led on by mounts in their prime.

رَمى رَميَةً لَو قسّمَتْ بَينَ عامِرٍ

وَذُبيانِها لَم يَبقَ إِلَّا شَريدُها

It was a shot that if dealt out to 'Amir

And his clans, none would remain but their remnants.
