عَجِبَت أَبناؤُنا مِن فِعلِنا
إِذ نَبيعُ الخَيلَ بِالمِعزى اللِجابِ
Our sons were amazed at what we did
When we sold horses for flimsy cloaks
عَلِموا أَنَّ لَدَينا عُقبَةً
غَيرَ ما قالَ صُعَيرُ بنُ كِلابِ
They knew we faced an insurmountable obstacle
Other than what Suhair son of Kilab said
إِنَّما كانَت بِنا مَوصولَةً
أَكلُ الناسِ بِها أَحرى النِهابِ
It was incumbent upon us
To ravage the possessions of the people
