هَدِيُّكُمُ خَيرٌ أَباً مِن أَبيكُمُ

أَعَفُّ وَأَوفى بِالجِوارِ وَأَحمَدُ

Your guide is better than my father

More gracious and faithful to the neighbor and most praised

وَأَطعَنُ في الهَيجا إِذا الخَيلُ صَدَّها

غَداةَ الصَباحِ السَمهَرِيُّ المُقَصَّدُ

And I plunge into battle when the horses are charging

In the morning of youth, the sought after destination

فَهَلّا وَفي الغَوغاءِ عَمروُ بنُ جابِرٍ

بِذِمَّتِهِ وَاِبنُ اللَقيطَةِ عِصيَدُ

So why not in the melee is Amr bin Jabir

By his protection and Ibn al-Laqeetah, a young warrior

سَيَأتيكُمُ عَنّي وَإِن كُنتُ نائِياً

دُخانُ العَلَندي دونَ بَيتِيَ مِذوَدُ

Will come to you from me even if I am distant

The smoke of my fire before my house still smolders

قَصائِدُ مِن قيلِ اِمرِئٍ يَحتَذيكُمُ

بَني العُشَراءِ فَاِرتَدوا وَتَقَلَّدوا

Poems before a man who adorns you

O Bani Ashra, so turn back and take arms
