مَن مُبلِغٌ عَمروَ بنَ هِندٍ آيَةً

وَمِنَ النَصيحَةِ كَثرَةُ الإِنذارِ

Who will convey to Amr bin Hind an ayah,

And abundant advice is manifold warning,

لا أَعرِفَنَّكَ عارِضاً لِرِماحِنا

في جُفِّ تَغلِبِ وادِيَ الإِمرارِ

I will not recognize you opposing our spears

In the dryness of Taghlib and the Imrar valley,

يا لَهفَ أُمّي بَعدَ أَسرَةِ جَعوَلٍ

أَلّا أُلاقِيَهُم وَرَهطَ عِرارِ

Oh my mother's ardour after the captives of Ja'wal!

If only I would meet them and the kin of Irar!
