رِعاءُ الشاءِ زَيدَ مَناةَ كانوا

بِكاظِمَةِ العِراقِ بَني لَكاعا

The shepherds of sheep, Zayd and Manah

Were of the Kaadhima clan of Iraq, Bani Lakaa'

وَلَو شَهِدَت بَني ذَهَلٍ لَحاموا

عَلى أَحسابِ ضَبَّةَ أَن تُضاعا

And had the tribe of Banu Dhahl witnessed, they would have protected

The coats of mail, that they not be taken away
