إذا كَلْبٌ عَوَى ليّ مِنْ عِدائ

إذا كَلْبٌ عَوَى ليّ مِنْ عِدائ

أَجَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ بالسُّمْرِ العَوالي

أَجَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ بالسُّمْرِ العَوالي

If a dog among my enemies howls at me,

When a dog howls at me from among enemies

I answer him with long, brown-shafted spears.

I answer him with lofty generosity
