عَفا مَثعَرٌ مِن أَهلِهِ فَثَقيبُ

فَسَفحُ اللِوى مِن سائِرٍ فَجَريبُ

A wanderer left his people, so a gap remained

And the slopes of al-Liwa have become desolate and lonely

فَذو السَرحِ أَقوى فالبراقُ كأَنَّها

بِحورَةَ لَم يَحلُل بِهِنَّ عَريبُ

The one with disheveled hair is stronger, and al-Baraq is as if

At Hurrah, no Arab tribesman had settled
