بَني عامِرٍ أَنّى اِنتَجَعتُم وَكُنتُم

إِذا حُصِّلَ الأَقوامُ كَالخُصيَةِ الفَردِ

O clan of Amer, whence this decline though you were

The choice kernel when men were garnered together?

فَأَنتُم وَلَأيٌ مَوضِعَ الذُلِّ حَجرَةً

وَقُرَّةُ أولى بِالعَلاءِ وَبِالمَجدِ

You it was who dwelt in abjection's abode,

While the noble and the glorious deserved honor and glory.
