يا طُعمَ يا اِبنَ قُرَيطٍ إِنَّ بَيعَكُمُ

رِفدَ القِرى ناقِصٌ لِلدينِ وَالحَسَبِ

O Tu'mah son of Qurayt, your trade

Has left religious scruples and noble descent wanting,

لَولا عِظامُ تَريفٍ ما غَفَرتُ لَكُم

يَومي بِأودَ وَلا أَنسَأتُكُم غَضَبي

Were it not for the bones of Tarif, I would not forgive you

A day in Awda, nor withhold my anger,

قالوا اِشتَروا جَزَراً مِنّا فَقُلتُ لَهُم

بيعوا المَوالِيَ وَاِستَحيوا مِنَ العَرَبِ

They said: "Buy some islands from us." I said to them:

"Sell your slaves and be ashamed in front of the Arabs."
