قَد يَتَمَت بِنتي وَآمَت كَنَّتي

وَشُعِّثَت بَعدَ الرِهانِ جُمَّتي

My daughter may covet and my provisions may run short

And my clothes be torn after the wager

رُدّوا عَلَيَّ الخَيلَ إِن أَلَمَّتِ

إِن لَم يُناجِزها فَجُزّوا لِمَّتي

Return the horses to me if she is pained

If you do not fulfill it then take my wrappings as compensation

قَد عَلِمَت والِدَةٌ ما ضَمَّتِ

ما لَفَّفَت في خِرَقٍ وَشَمَّتِ

A mother knows what she has wrapped

And tied in a cloth and protected

إِذا الكُماةُ بِالكُماةِ إِلتَفَّتِ

أَمُخدَجٌ في الحَربِ أَم أَتَمَّتِ

When the brave meet the brave and blend together

Is it unmanly in war or most courageous?
