سائِلُ بِوَقعِ تَميمٍ يَمنٍ

لَمّا أَلاموا جِوارَ التَيمِ أَو عُكُلِ

With the striking fall of fortunate Yemen

When they pained the neighbor of Taym or Ukal

فَلَم يُفاجِئهُم إِلّا تَنادُبُنا

ضَرباً تَميمُ عَلى الهاماتِ لا شَلَلِ

So they were not surprised except by our lament

Taym has struck the vital organs, no flaccidity
