1. وَأُنبئتهم يَستَصرِخونَ بِكاهِلٍ

    وَلِلُّؤمِ فيهم كاهِلٌ وَسنامُ

    And I was told they call on Kāhil for help;

    And baseness among them has a shoulder ridge and a hump.

  2. فَإِن يَأتِنا يَرجع سويدٌ وَوَجهُهُ

    عَلَيهِ الخَزايا غُبرَةٌ وَقَتامُ

    So if Suwayd comes to us, he will return with his face

    Covered in disgrace, dust and a dark haze.

  3. دَعِيٌّ إِلى ذُبيانَ طَوراً وَتارَةً

    إِلى يَشكُرٍ ما في الجَميعِ كِرامُ

    A man falsely ascribed to Dhubyān at one time, and at another

    To Yashkur—there are no noble men among them all.
