قَضَت ثُعَلٌ دَيناً ودِّنا بِمِثلَةِ

سَلامانَ كَيلاً وَاِزناً بِبَوازِنِ

A fox paid off a debt and weighed

With the scales of Solomon, carefully and justly.

فَأَمسوا بَني حُرٍّ كَريمٍ وَأَصبَحوا

عَبيدَ عُنَينٍ رَغمَ أَنفٍ وَمازِنِ

So they went to bed free men, noble and generous,

And woke up slaves of a despised Unayn, despite their pride and dignity unbowed.
