Then I am no son of a chaste woman if you do not see us
We are not fortresses if you do not see us
fighting you as though we were wine-drinkers.
Your wars against us are like drinking wine

فلم تغلب ولم تسبقُ بوِتر
We ruled the people, as Maʿadd well knows;
You know we have ruled over people, Madi
so Maʿadd neither prevailed nor outstripped us in vengeance.
You have not won nor have you excelled with poetry

We intended to stay, then set out

With the good journey of Huthayfa son of Badr
