وَفَرَّ مِنَ الحَربِ العَوانِ وَلَم يَكُن

بِها حاتِمُ طَيّاً وَلا مُتَطَبَّبا

He fled from war though no coward was Hatem,

Nor was he sick or wounded in the fray.

وَرَيّبَ حصناً بَعدَ أَن كانَ آبِياً

أَبُوَّةُ حِصنٍ فَاِستَقالَ وَأَعتَبا

Yet he who was so bold became afraid

A fortress fears when walls begin to sway.

أَقِم في بَني بَدرٍ وَلا ما يَهُمُّنا

إِذا ما تَقَضَّت حَربُنا أَن تَطرَبا

Stay with the sons of Badr, no more heed

These wars; when bloodshed ends you'll dance and play.
