أَتَيتُ الأَشعَثَ العِجلِيَّ أَمشي

لِيَحمِلَني عَلى عَدَسٍ رَجومِ

I came to al-Ash'ath the 'Ijliyy riding

So that he may carry me on a dappled she-camel

نَمى بِكَ مِن رَبيعَةَ غَيرُ فَحلٍ

وَسَعَّدَ ساعِدَيكَ بَنو تَميمِ

There grew in you one from Rabī'ah other than a stallion

And your arms were made happy by Banū Tamīm
