1. غَنِيَت دارُنا تِهامَةَ في الدَهـ

    ـرِ وَفيها بَنو مَعَدٍّ حُلولا

    Our home flourished in Tihāmah through the ages,

    and there the sons of Maʿadd dwelt.

  2. فَتَساقَوا كَأساً أُمِرَّت عَلَيهِم

    بَينَهُم يَقتُلُ العَزيزُ الذَليلا

    Then they shared a cup made bitter for them;

    among them, the mighty would kill the lowly.
