لَقَد بُدِّلَت نَجرانُ بَعدَ مُلوكِها

مَخاليفَ سوءٍ قَومُها وَنِساؤُها

Najran has changed after its kings,

Its people and women are of ill repute.

وَإِن زَجَرَ الرَحمَنُ عَن مُصمَئِلَّةٍ

أَتاها عَلاجيمٌ قَليلٌ حِباؤُها

Though the Merciful dissuaded from evil deeds,

Only a few strange tongues visit it now.

يُريدونَ أَن يُخفوا مِنَ اللَهِ لَعنَةً

إِذا ما أَتَوها وَهيَ بادٍ غِطاؤُها

They want to hide from God their shame

When they come to it naked under thin cover.

نِساأُكُمُ كَنّاتُكُم وَبَناتُكُم

مَياميسُ أُحدانُ الفُلوسِ عَطاؤُها

Your women, your spouses, your daughters

Are tents whose pegs are dinars given for reward.
