سَقى الأَجراعَ فَوقَ بَني شُبَيلٍ

مَساحِجُ كُلَّ مُرتَجِزٍ هَزيمِ

He watered the camels above Bani Shubail,

The battlefields of all who take a stand and flee.

عَرَفتُ بِهِنَّ مَكرُمَةً وَحِلماً

إِذا ما قيلَ أَينَ ذَوُو الحُلومِ

I knew them to have generosity and forbearance,

When asked, where are those of tolerance?
