1. أَغشاكُم عَمرو عُيوباً كَثيرَةً

    وَمِن دونِ عَمرو ماءُ دِجلَةَ دائِمُ

    ʿAmr has covered you with many disgraces.

    And between you and ʿAmr lie the Tigris’s enduring waters.

  2. إِذا أَخفَروكُم مَرَّةً كانَ ذا كمُ

    جِياداً عَلى فُرسانِهِنَّ العَمائِمُ

    If they once broke faith with you, that would be

    fine steeds, with turbans upon their riders.
