رَأَيتُكَ مَزهوّاً كأَنَّ أَباكُمُ

صُهَيبَةَ أَمسى خَيرَ عَوفٍ مُرَكَّبا

I saw you in splendor as if your father

Ṣuhaybah had become the best mounted man of ʿAwf

تُقِرُّ بِكُم كوثى إِذا ما نُسِبتُمُ

وَتُنكِرُكُم عَمرو بنُ عَوفِ بنِ جَحجَبي

The Kuthayy tribe acknowledges you whenever you are attributed to it

While ʿAmr ibn ʿAwf ibn Jaḥjab denies knowing you

عَلَيكَ بِأَدنى الخَطبِ إِن أَنتَ نِلتَهُ

وَأقصِر فَلا يَذهَب بِكَ التيهُ مَذهَبا

You have the slightest of claims over it, if you obtain it

So be brief and do not let confusion carry you away
