وَأَعلَم أَنَّني وَأَبا حُمَيدٍ

كَما النَّشوانُ وَالرَّجلُ الحَليمُ

I know that Abu Humaid and I

Are like the leopard and the wise man -

أُريدُ حَياتَهُ وَيُريدُ قَتلي

وَأَعلَم أَنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ اللَّئيمُ

I want his life, and he wants mine taken

And I know he is a wicked man

فَإِنَّ الحُمرَ مِن شَرِّ المَطايا

كَما الحَبِطاتُ شَرُّ بَني تَميمِ

For the red camels are the worst mounts

As the Habitas are the worst clan of Tamim
