أَتَانِي وَأَصْحَابِي على رَأسِ صَلْيَعٍ

حَدِيثٌ أَطارَ النَّومَ عَنِّي فَأَنْعَمَا

News came to me and my companions at the top of Sali'

A conversation that chased away my sleep, so it became bountiful

فقلتُ لِعِجْلِيٍّ بَعِيدٍ مَآبُهُ

أَبْنْ لِيْ وَبَيِّنْ لي الحَدِيثَ المُجَمْجَمَا

So I said to 'Ijli far away is his place of return

Explain to me this perplexing conversation

فقالَ أَبَيْتَ اللَّعْنَ عَمْرٌو وَ كَاهِلٌ

أَبَاحَا حِمَى حُجْرٍ فَأَصْبَحَ مُسْلَمَا

He said 'Amr and Kahil have refused the curse

They permitted the protection of Hujr, so it became in the open
