لِأَلقى بَني عَيلانَ إِنَّ فِعالِهُم

تَزيدُ عَلى كُلِّ الفَعالِ مَراتِبُه

To meet the sons of `Aylan, their deeds

Excel all deeds in rank and worth combined.

أَولاكَ الأُلى شَقّوا العَمى بِسُيوفِهِم

مِنَ العَينِ حَتّى أَبصَرَ الحَقَّ طالِبُه

Those nobles with their swords split blindness wide

That truth might through that cleft sighted be.
