لَعَمرُكَ ما في الأَرضِ لي مِن مُصاهِرٍ

وَلا نَسَبٍ يُدعى بِأَرضِ عُمانِ

By your life! I have no in-laws in the land

Nor kin who is called to in Oman’s land.

وَلَكِنَّ أَهلَ الأَبطَحَينِ عَشيرَتي

بَنو كُلَّ فَيّاضِ اليَدَينِ هِجانِ

But the people of the valley plains are my tribe—

The Bani Kilab of the open-handed and passionate.
