لَو شَهِدَتني مِن مَعَدٍّ عِصابَةٌ

سِوى ناكَةِ المِعزى سُلَيمُ بنُ أَشجَعِ

Had I been seen by a hostile party, other than

The weeping she-goat and Sulaym son of Ashja`

بَنو عَمِّ دارِ الذُلِّ لُؤماً وَدِقَّةً

وَأَحلامُ تَيسٍ يَمَّمَ الدارَ أَسفَعِ

The sons of my uncle's house abasement and meekness

And the dreams of a he-goat that defiled the house with his hooves
