سَيُبكي صَداً في قَبرِ سَلمى ابنِ جَندَلِ
نِكاحُ أَبي الدَهماءِ بِنتَ سَعيدِ
A shade in the grave of Salma ibn Jandal will be made to weep
Sad will cry in the tomb of Salma son of Jundal
by Abu al-Dahma’s marriage to Saʿid’s daughter.
The marriage of Abu al-Dahma to the daughter of Sa'id
أَصابوا جَواداً لَم يَكُن في رِباطِهِم
وَكانَ أَبو الدَهماءِ غَيرَ مُجيدِ
They acquired a fine steed that was not in their stables,
They got a stallion that was not tethered by them
and Abu al-Dahma was no owner of fine steeds.
And Abu al-Dahma was not excellent
فَجاءَت بِهِ مِن ذي ضَواةٍ كَأَنَّهُ
جَحافِلُ بَغلٍ في مُناخِ جُنودِ
So she bore him by a man with a swelling, as though he were
So she came with him from Dhu Dhawa as if he
the lips of a mule in an army encampment.
Troops of mules in the rest area of soldiers
Sol 6.1
