سَتَبرَأُ مِن بُعدِ الضَمانَةِ رِجلُها

وَتَأتي الَّذي تَهوى مُخَلّى طَريقُها

Her foot will be freed after the guarantee

And the one she loves will come with his path cleared

عَلَيَّ هَدايا البُدنِ إِن لَم أُلاقِها

وَإِن لَم يَكُن إِلّا فُدَيكٌ يَسوقُها

Woe to me if I don't meet her gifts of beauty

Even if all she has is a rooster to lead her

يُحَصِّنُها مِنّي فُدَيكٌ سَفاهَةً

وَقَد ذَهَبَت فيها الكُباسُ وَحوقُها

A rooster protects her from me out of ignorance

Though she has lost her helmet and armor

تُذيقونَها شَيئاً مِنَ النارِ كُلَّما

رَأَت مِن بَني كَعبٍ غُلاماً يَروقُها

They make her taste some fire whenever

She sees a handsome youth of Bani Kaab please her
