ما عذركم أنْ لم تجودوا بعدما

مُلْكتُمُ كَفَّ الخليفة أحمدِ

What excuse have you when you were not generous

After you possessed the palm of Caliph Ahmed

فلْتَبْعثوا لي كلَّ بكرٍ فذّةِ

تأتي بفخر حلالها وسْطَ النَّدي

Send me then every excellent young camel

Bringing the pride of her lawful milk amid the assembly
