أَمِثلُ بَني مُضَرٍ وائِلٌ

فَقَدتُكَ مِن فاخِرٍ ما أَجن

Are the likes of Bani Mudar Wa'il

I have lost you from a proud boastful one

أَفي النَومِ هَذا أَبا مُنذِرٍ

فَخَيراً رَأَيتَ وَخَيراً يَكُن

Is this a dream, O Abu Mundhir

You have seen goodness and goodness will happen

رَأَيتُكَ وَالفَخرَ في مِثلِها

كَعاجِنَةٍ غَيرَ ما تَطَّحِن

I saw you and pride in its likes

Like a bread dough not yet kneaded
