Fahm and Adwan—a people who, if you meet them,
Understanding and hostility of a people, if you meet them,
are the best of creation to every visitor at dawn.
Are the best of creations in the view of all who admonish,
لاnot يَفخَلونَunclear as written; likely ‘they falter’ وَلاand not تَطيشُgo astray رِماحُهُمtheir spears
لا يَفخَلونَ وَلا تَطيشُ رِماحُهُم

They do not [falter?], nor do their spears go astray;
They do not act rashly, nor do their spears miss,
worthy of my radiant poems and my praise.
They are worthy of the boastful verses and my praise.
