فَإِن كَفَروا نُعماكَ فيهِم فَإِنَّها

دُيون تَقاضَتها الرِّماحُ الذَّوابِلُ

If they deny your favors among them, then

They are debts that spears with their blades will settle.

وَإِن قابَلوها بِالجُحودِ سَفاهَةً

فَقَد عَرَفَتها سُمرُهُم وَالمَناصِلُ

And if in ignorance they meet them with rejection,

Their night fires and tents have made them known.

أَتوكَ فَحانَت ساهريها مَضارِبٌ

حَياء وَعاصَت مشرعيها عَولملُ

They came to you while their abodes were dwellings

Of modesty, though their tents disobeyed the rain.
