أَنمي فَأَعقِلُ في ضَبيسٍ مَعقِلاً
ضَخماً مَناكِبُهُ عَظيمُ الهادي
I trace my descent, then take refuge in Dabis, a stronghold,
Massive of shoulder, mighty of neck.
وَالعقد في مَلّانَ غَيرُ مُزلّجٍ
بِقوىً متيناتِ الحِبالِ شِدادِ
And the bond in Mallan is not loosely tied,
With firm strands of strong rope.
وَأَرى كَريمَكَ لا كَريمَة دونَه
وَأَرى بِلادَك مَنقَعاً لِجَوادي
And I see your noble one—nothing precious apart from him;
And I see your lands as a watering place for my steed.
قَشَمت فَجرَّ بِرِجلِها أَصحابُها
وَحَشوا عَلى حَفصٍ لَها وَعِمادِ
She ate greedily; her owners then dragged her by her leg,
And they packed loads onto her leather basket and support.
يَئِسَ القِصارُ فَلَسنَ مِن نِسوانِها
وَمماشِهِنَّ لَها مِنَ الحُسّادِ
The short ones despaired; they were not of her womenfolk,
And their walking companions are among those who envy her.
