وَإِنَّكِ لَو رَأَيتِ أُمَيمَ قَومي

غَداةَ قُراقِرٍ لَنَعِمتِ عَينا

If you had seen the women of my tribe

One morn after a night of heavy rain,

وَهُنَّ خَوارِجٌ مِن حَيِّ كَعبٍ

وَقَد شُفِيَ الحَرارَةُ وَاِشتَفَينا

As they left the dwelling place of Ka'b,

When the fever of heat was allayed,

وَقَد صَبَّحنَ يَومَ عُوَيرِضاتٍ

قُبَيلَ الشَرقِ بِاليَمَنِ الحُصَينا

On a day of 'Uwairidh, beside the east,

At the fortress of Yemen, assembling,

وَبِالمَرداتِ قَد لاقَينَ غُنماً

وَمِن أَهلِ اليَمامَةِ ما بَغَينا

And at Mardad we met the flocks,

And from the people of Yamamah asked no wrong.
