أَراحَ اللَهُ عَبدَ القَيسِ مِنّا

وَنَحنُ كَذاكَ مِنهُم نَستَريحُ

God gave relief to Abdel-Qays from us,

Just as we seek relief from them.

قُبَيِّلَةٌ تَرَدَّدُ في مَعَدٍّ

كَأَنَّ فُساءَها في الطَفِّ ريحُ

An oft defeated tribe in Ma'add wander,

As if the stink of their dead fills the plains.
