غَنِيَت دارُنا تِهامَةَ في الدَهـ

ـرِ وَفيها بَنو مَعَدٍّ حُلولا

Our house glittered in Tihamah among the dew, and in it lived the sweet sons of Ma'add.

They passed around a cup that was passed to them. Among them the noble killed the lowly.

فَتَساقَوا كَأساً أُمِرَّت عَلَيهِم

بَينَهُم يَقتُلُ العَزيزُ الذَليلا
