1. إِنَّ اِبنَ طَوقٍ وَبَني تَغلِبٍ

    لَو قُتِّلوا أَو جُرِّحوا قَصرَه

    Indeed, Ibn Tawq and the sons of Taghlib,

    if they were slaughtered or wounded by force,

  2. لَم يَأخُذوا مِن دِيَةٍ دِرهَماً

    يَوماً وَلا مِن أَرشِهِم بَعرَه

    would not receive a dirham in blood money,

    ever, nor a dung pellet in compensation for their wounds.

  3. دِمائُهُم لَيسَ لَها طالِبٌ

    مَطلولَةٌ مِثلَ دَمِ العُذرَه

    Their blood has no one to claim redress for it,

    shed with impunity, like the blood of defloration.

  4. وُجوهُهُم بيضٌ وَأَحسابُهُم

    سودٌ وَفي آذانِهِم صُفرَه

    Their faces are white, and their family reputations

    are black, with yellow in their ears.
