تَقولُ حَليلَتي لَمّا اِشتَكَينا

سَيُدرِكُنا بَنو القَرمِ الهِجانِ

My wife said when we complained,

"The savage Quraysh clan will overtake us."

فَقُلتُ اِدعي وَأَدعو إِنَّ أَندى

لِصَوتٍ أَن يُنادِيَ داعِيانِ

So I said, "Pray, and I will pray that the dew

Will dampen the sound of two callers.”
