1. تُخبِرُني شَواحِجُ الغُدقانِ

    وَالخُطبُ يَشهَدنَ مَعَ العِقانِ

    The dimples of her cheeks inform me,

    And her speech bears witness with her rows of pearly teeth,

  2. إِني جُحَيشُ مَعشَري هَمدانِ

    وَلَستُ عَبداً لِبَني حِمّانِ

    That I am a tribe of Hamdan,

    And I am no slave to the clan of Himyan.
