فِدىً لِلفارِسِ الجُشَميَّ نَفسي

وَأَفديهِ بِمَن لي مِن حَميمِ

My soul I sacrifice for the noble knight Al-Jashami

And I ransom him with those most dear to me

وَأَفديهِ بِكُلِّ بَني سُلَيمٍ

بِظاعِنهِم وَبِالأَنَسِ المُقيمِ

And I ransom him with every tribe of Sulaym

With their warriors and bosom friends steadfast and true

خَصَصتُ بِها أَخا الأَحرارِ قَيساً

فَتىً في بَيتِ مَكرُمَةٍ كَريمِ

I have singled him out, brother of the free, Qays

A gallant youth of the house of generous decree
