فَأُقسِمُ لَولا أَسهَمَ اِبنُ مُحَرَّقٍ

مَعَ اللَهِ ما أَكثَرتُ عَدَّ الأَقارِبِ

I swear if it were not for the arrows of Ibn Muharraq

With Allah I would not have counted many of my relatives

تَرَكتُ اِبنَ عُشٍّ يَرفَعونَ بِرَأسِهِ

يَنوءُ بِساقٍ كَعبُها غَيرُ راتِبِ

I left the son of Ush raising his head

Bending with a leg whose ankle is unsteady

وَأَنهاهُمُ خَلعي عَلى غَيرِ ميرَةٍ

مِنَ اللَحمِ حَتّى غُيِّبوا في الغَوائِبِ

And I ended them without an inheritance

Of meat until they disappeared into the unknown
