أَحبابَنا بِلِوَى تَهامَة ما لَكُم

لا تَسلُكونَ طَرائَق الإنصافِ

Our friends in Liwa desert, what's wrong with you all

You don't follow the ways of fairness

مِلتُم عَلَيَّ بِهَجرِكُم وَلَطالَما

أَسرَفتُم بِالوَصلِ في إِسعافي

You are tired of me because of your estrangement, though

You have been excessive in aiding me before

أَينَ المَواثِقُ حَيثُ رَبعُ أُهَيلِها

رَحبُ الجَوانِبِ طَيِّبَ الأَكنافِ

Where are the pacts made where tents of her people spread

With vast sides and good shelters

أَنا مَن أَطاعَكُم وَخالَفَ فيكُم ال

لاحي وَحَسبي طاعَتي وَخِلافي

I am the one who obeyed you and opposed the one who

Disobeyed you; my state and pedigree are in my obedience and opposition
