اِذهَب فَلا يُبعِدَنَّكَ اللَهُ مِن رَجُلٍ

موري حروبٍ وَلِلعافينَ وَالنادي

Go, may Allah not take you far from a man

Who instigates wars and is good to the sound and club alike

ما كانَ يَعدِلهُ في الناسِ مِن أَحَدٍ

وَلا يُوازيهِ في نَعمى وَإِرصادِ

None among the people was his equal

Nor matched him in grace and nobility

لَقَد تَرَكتَ بَني عَمرو وإخوَتِها

يَدعونَ بِاِسمِكَ لِلمُنتابِ وَالرادِ

Truly you left the Banu 'Amr and their brethren

Invoking your name for the repentant and the relapser
