أَلا يالَزَيدِ اللاتِ ما بالُ رايَةٍ

رَفَعتُم عَصاها بَعدَما أَدبَرَ الأَمرُ

O Zaid, by God! Why raise a banner, after the affair is lost,

To defend barefoot women, whose anklets and dress hems are torn,

لَتَحموا نِساءً بادِياً ثَلَباتُها

قِصاراً هَواديها وَأَوساطُها عُجرُ

Whose legs can be seen, as their robes are short?
