جَمَحَت بَنو جَمحٍ لِشِقوَةِ جَدِّهِم
إِنَّ الذَليلَ مُوَكَّلٌ بِذَليلِ
Banū Jumaḥ ran wild through the wretchedness of their two forefathers;
indeed, one base wretch is ever entrusted to another.
قُتِلَت بَنو جَمحٍ بِبَدرٍ عَنوَةً
وَتَخاذَلوا سَعياً بِكُلِّ سَبيلِ
Banū Jumaḥ were slain at Badr by force,
and failed one another, hastening down every road.
جَحَدوا القُرانَ وَكَذَّبوا بِمُحَمَّدٍ
وَاللَهُ يُظهِرُ أَمرَ كُلِّ رَسولِ
They denied the Qur’an and declared Muhammad a liar,
yet God makes every messenger’s cause prevail.
فَلَحا الإِلَهُ أَبا خُزَيمَةَ وَاِبنَهُ
وَالخالِدينَ وَصاعِدَ بنَ عَقيلِ
So may God curse Abū Khuzaymah and his son,
the two Khālids, and Ṣāʿid ibn ʿAqīl.
تَرَكوا الحُجونَ وَمَن يُقاتِلُ دونَهُم
وَتَخاذَلوا لُؤماً فَشَرُّ قَبيلِ
They abandoned al-Ḥajūn and those who fought in their defense,
and failed one another out of baseness—what a vile tribe!
Sol 5.6
