ما وَلَدَتكُم قُرومٌ مِن بَني أَسَدِ

وَلا هُصَيصٌ وَلا تَيمٌ وَلا عُمَرُ

No Quraysh tribe gave birth to you, nor Hudhayl, nor Taym, nor 'Umar,

Nor 'Adiyy, Ibn Ka'b's son. Their lineage

وَلا عَدِيُّ اِبنُ كَعبٍ إِنَّ صَبغَتَها

كَالهُندُوانِيِّ لا رَثٌّ وَلا دَإِرُ

Is pure as Indian swords - no rust or damage.

Yet you're a slave to Qayn - a heartless man

وَأَنتَ عَبدٌ لِقَينٍ لا فُؤادَ لَهُ

مِن آلِ شَجعٍ هُناكَ اللَومُ وَالخَوَرُ

Of Shijaa's line. Blame and disgrace await him there.

For it is clear, as clear as the rising moon,

وَقَد تَبَيَّنَ في شِجعٍ وِلادَتُكُم

كَما تَبَيَّنَ أَنّى يَطلُعُ القَمَرُ

That you are not from Shijaa's noble line.
