وَلَمّا رَأى وَضَحاً في الإِنا

ءِ قامَ لَهُ زَمجَرٌ كَالمُرِن

When he saw the moon rise in the sky

A roar like thunder arose from him

خَليلانِ مُختَلِفٌ شَأنُنا

أُريدُ العَلاءَ وَيَنوي السِمَن

We are two friends of different type

I aspire for glory, he for fatness

أُريدُ دِماءَ بَني مازِنٍ

وَراقَ المُعَلّى بَياضُ اللَبَن

I aspire for the blood of Bani Mazin

While the exalted one is pleased with milk's whiteness
