لَيسَ العَقائِلُ مِن شَيبانَ نافِقَةً

وَفيهِمُ مِن كُلَيبٍ عَقدُ أَصهارِ

The enemies are not all hypocrites with white hair,

Among them are youths tied by kinship's bonds.

النازِلينَ بِدارِ الذُلِّ إِن نَزَلوا

وَالأَلأَمينَ بِأَسماعٍ وَأَبصارِ

Those who dwell in the abode of disgrace, if they dwell,

Are endowed with hearing and sight like the noble.

وَإِنَّ حَدراءَ ما كانَت مُصاهِرَةً

بَينَ الأَلائِمِ مِن ضَيفٍ وَمِن جارِ

And truly Hudra was never allied

To censured guest or neighbor.
