أَنَهدِيّاً إِذا ما جِئتَ نَهداً

وَتُدعى بِالجَزيرَةِ مِن نِزارِ

When you come wailing to those slopes,

Called after you “the peninsula of an-Nizar,”

أَلا تُغني كِنانَةُ عَن أَخيها

زُهَيرٍ في المُلِمّاتِ الكِبارِ

Does not Kananah's singing avail

Her brother Zuhair in grave events?

فَيَبرُزَ جَمعُنا وَبَنو عَدِيٍّ

فَيُعلَمَ أَيُّنا مَولى صُحارِ

Then our band will sally forth, and the sons of 'Adiyy,

And it will appear which of us is the prop of Suhár.
