فَإِن تَنجُ يَدمى عارِضاكَ فَإِنَّنا
تَرَكنا بَنيكَ لِلضِباعِ وَلِلرَخمِ
Though you escape while Fortune's blows still miss,
We left your sons to jackals and to worms,
جَزَيتُ عَياضاً كُفرَهُ وَعُقوقَهُ
وَأَخرَجتُهُ مِنَ المُدفَأَةِ الدَهمِ
I paid Ayadh back for his misdeeds and sins,
And from the fiery furnace cast him out.
أَلا هَل أَتاهُ ما رَكِبنا سَراتَهُم
وَما قَد عَقَرنَ مِن صَفِيٍّ وَمِن قَرمِ
Does he not know what happened when we marched
Against his clans, and broke their spears and swords?
