لَعَمرُكَ ما في الأَزدَ بِالمُلكِ قائِمٌ

وَلا عَدلِ ما أَضحى مِنَ الأَمرِ مايِلِ

By your life, among the Azd there is no ruler,

Nor justice - the authority has declined.

وَلا ضَمَّها السُلطانُ قَسراً لِدَعوَةٍ

فَتَرضى بِهَذا الحِلفِ بَكرُ اِبنُ وايِلِ

Nor has the sultan gathered it by force for a cause,

So Bakr, son of Wail, is content with this oath.
