أَعَيَّرتُموني أَن دَعَتني أَخاهُمُ
سُلَيمٌ وَأَعطَتني بِأَيمانِها سَعدُ
Have you taunted me for being called their brother
by Sulaym, while Sa'd gave me its sworn pledge?
فَكُنتُ وَسيطاً في سُلَيمٍ مُعاقِداً
لِسَعدٍ وَسَعدٌ ما يُحَلُّ لَها عَقدُ
Thus I held noble standing among Sulaym, bound by an alliance
with Sa'd—and no pact of Sa'd is undone.
صَبَبتُ عَلَيكُم حاصِبي فَتَركتُكُم
كَأَصرامِ عادٍ حينَ جَلَّلَها الرُمدُ
I poured my hail of stones upon you and left you
like the scattered clans of 'Ad when dust-laden winds shrouded them.
