أَيَهتِفُ مَكروبٌ بِبَكرِ بنِ وائِلٍ
تَخَوَّنَهُ كابٍ مِنَ الجَدِّ عاثِرُ
Does a man in distress call upon Bakr ibn Wa’il,
Whom a faltering, stumbling turn of fortune has betrayed?
تُسَوِّقُهُ ذُهلُ بنُ ضُبَّةَ فيكُمُ
عَلى حالَةٍ قَد أَفرَدَتهُ العَشائِرُ
Dhuhl ibn Dubba drives him among you,
In a state where the clans have left him alone.
دَعَوتُ لُجَيماً إِذ تَجَنَّبتُ خِندِفاً
وَلَم يَكُ مِنهُم حَولَ بَيتِيَ ناصِرُ
I called upon Lujaym when I shunned Khindif,
And there was no supporter from among them around my house.
Sol 6.1
