نَعَبَ الغُرابُ وَلَيتَهُ لَم يَنعَبِ

بِالبَينِ مِن سَلمى وَأُمِّ الحَوشَبِ

The crow croaked, would that it had not croaked

By the desolation of Salma and Umm Al-Hawshab

لَيتَ الغُراب رَمى حَماطَةَ قَلبِهِ

عَمرٌو بِأَسهُمِهِ الَّتي لَم تُغلَبِ

Would that the crow had cast the contents of its heart

Like 'Amr with his arrows that were never defeated
