هَوَازِنُ أقبِلي ماذا التَّوانِي
أدينُ العِزّ أم دينُ الهَوانِ
O Hawazin, come, what is the delay?
Do I owe allegiance to honor or disgrace?
خُذي السَّبْيَ الموزَّعَ واشكريها
يَدَاً لِمُهَذَّبٍ جَمِّ الحنانِ
Take the captives who have been distributed and thank them
The hand of a refined one, full of tenderness
دَعَا أصحابَهُ بلسانِ صدقٍ
إلى الحُسْنَى فيا لَكَ من لِسَانِ
He called his companions with a tongue of truth
To the good, oh what an eloquent tongue!
أجابوا مُنعمين ولم يَضنُّوا
بما ملكوا من البيضِ الحسانِ
They answered generously and did not begrudge
What they possessed of the beautiful white camels
وقال محمدٌ أين ابنُ عَوْفٍ
سَيَحْمَدُ مُنتَواهُ إذا أتاني
And Muhammad said, where is the son of Awf?
He will praise his dwelling when he comes to me
له إن آثَرَ الإسلامَ دِيناً
عَطَاءٌ لا تُجاوِزُهُ الأماني
If he prefers Islam as a religion
He will be given gifts beyond wishes
يَعُودُ بأهلِهِ ويُزادُ مالاً
على مالٍ من الإبلِ الهِجانِ
He will return with his family and his wealth will be increased
Above wealth of the lively white camels
فَأقبلَ مُسلماً وَمَضَى بخيرٍ
جميلَ الذكرِ محمودَ المكانِ
So he came as a Muslim and went with goodness
Of beautiful mention and praiseworthy place
حَلِيمَةُ أنتِ والشَّيْمَاءُ أمٌّ
وأختٌ فانظرا ما تَصنعانِ
Halimah, it is you and Shaima, a mother
And sister, so see what you two will do
أما لكما الكرامةُ عند مَوْلَىً
كريمِ العهدِ مُوفٍ بالضَّمانِ
Do you not have honor with a generous guardian
True to his word, fulfilling his promise?
وهل بعدَ الرِّدَاءِ يُمَدُّ بِرٌّ
وتكرمةٌ لِذِي خَطَرٍ وَشَانِ
After being clothed, can goodness be extended
And favor to one of prestige and stature?
أَجَلَّكُما وأَجزلَ من عطاءٍ
يُعينُ على تَصاريفِ الزّمانِ
He has honored you and given ample gifts
To help in the circumstances of time
رَسُولُ اللهِ كيف وجدتماه
وماذا بعدَ ذلكَ تبغيانِ
Messenger of God, how did you find him
And what after that do you two desire?
عليهِ صلاةُ ربِّكما جميعاً
وَبُورِكَ في الرِّضَاعِ وفي اللِّبانِ
Upon him and all of you is the prayer of your Lord
And blessing in suckling and in fresh milk
أبا صُرَدٍ لَنِعْمَ العَمُّ يرجو
غِياثَ النّاسِ من قاصٍ وَدَانِ
Abu Sard, what a great uncle hoping
To help people from near and far
ظَفرتَ وفازَ بالنُّعْمَى زُهَيْرٌ
وهل لكما سِوَى ما ترجوانِ
Zuhair has succeeded and attained bounty
And what else for you two to hope for?
ولم أرَ حين تُلتَمَسُ الأيادِي
كمثلِ القولِ يَحْسُنُ والبيانِ
And I did not see, when hands were sought
Like excellent words and eloquence
وما مَلِكُ الشآمِ وَمَنْ يَلِيهِ
كَمَنْ وَافَيْتُما تَستَعطِفانِ
Not the king of Syria and who rules it
As the one you met pleading for
لقد نالت هَوَازِنُ ما تَمَنّتْ
وآبَتْ بالسّلامَةِ والأمانِ
Hawazin has attained what it desired
And returned safely and securely
