قالَت عُمَيرَةُ ما يُلهيكَ عَن غَنَمي

وَقَد حَلَلتُ مَعَ المِعزِيَةِ الحادي

'Umayrah said, "What distracts you from my sheep

When I have made peace with the shepherdess neighbor?

يَكفيكَ مَكفاتَها إِن حَجرَةٌ أَزَمَت

حُمزٌ تَحَيَّزها جَمعي وَإِتلادي

It should suffice you how I pay her back: when a ewe gets lost

A ram gets separated from the flock and my newborn lambs.

قَعرِيَةٌ أَكَلَت أَشحى وَمَدفَعَهُ

أَكنافَ أَشحى وَلَم تُعقَل بِأَقيادِ

A sly one who ate the saltbush and its shoots

The outskirts of the saltbush, yet was not tethered."
