نَشَدتُكَ بِاللَهِ الَّذي حَولَ بَيتِهِ
بِمَكَّةَ حَيٌّ مِن لُؤيِّ بِن غالِبِ
I adjure you by God, around whose House
in Mecca dwells a clan of Lu’ayy ibn Ghalib.
فَإِنَّكَ قَد جَرَّبتَني فَوجَدتَني
أُعينُكَ في الدُنيا وَأَكفيكَ جانِبي
For you have tested me and found me
helping you in this world and sparing you harm from my side.
وَإِن مَعشَرٌ دَبَّت إِلَيكَ عَداوَةً
عَقارِبُهُم دَبَّت إِلَيهم عَقارِبي
And if a clan sends creeping toward you in enmity
its scorpions, my scorpions creep toward them.
Sol 6.1
