1. إِنَّ قَومِي عَزَّ نَصرُهُمُ

    قَد شفَوني مِن بَنِي عَنَمَه

    Indeed, my people—mighty is their aid—

    have avenged me on the sons of ʿAnamah.

  2. تَرَكُوا عِمرانَ مُنجَدِلاً

    لِضِباعٍ حَولَهُ رَزَمَه

    They left ʿImrān lying prostrate,

    for hyenas crouching around him.

  3. في صَلاهُ أَلَّةٌ حُشُرٌ

    وَقَناةُ الرَمحِ مُنقَصِمَه

    In his lower back is a keen spearhead,

    and the spear’s shaft is broken.

  4. كلُّ قومٍ كانَ سَعيُهُمُ

    دُونَ ما يَسعَى بَنُو سَلَمَه

    Every tribe’s striving fell

    short of the striving of the sons of Salamah.

  5. سَيّدُ الأَملاكِ سَيّدُهُم

    وَعِداهُ الخانَةُ الأَثَمَه

    The lord of kings is their lord,

    and his enemies are treacherous sinners.
