[ رِثَاءُ مَطْرُودٍ لِعَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وبني عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ مَطْرُودُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْخُزاَعِيُّ يَبْكِي عَبْدَ الْمُطَّلِبِ وبَني عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ: : يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ الْمُحَوِّلُ رَحْلَهُ هَلَّا سَأَلْتَ عَنْ آلِ عَبْدِ مَنَافِ هَبَلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ لَوْ حَلَلْتَ بِدَارِهِمْ ضَمِنُوكَ مِنْ جُرْمٍ وَمِنْ إقْرَافِ الْخَالِطِينَ غَنِيَّهُمْ بِفَقِيرِهِمْ حَتَّى يَعُودَ فَقِيرُهُمْ كَالْكَافِي الْمُنْعِمِينَ إذَا النُّجُومُ تَغَيَّرَتْ وَالظَّاعِنِينَ لِرِحْلَةِ الْإِيلَافِ وَالْمُطْعِمِينَ إذَا الرِّيَاحُ تَنَاوَحَتْ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ فِي الرَّجَّافِ إمَّا هَلَكْتَ أَبَا الْفِعَالِ فَمَا جَرَى مِنْ فَوْقِ مِثْلِكَ عَقْدُ ذَاتِ نِطَافِ إلَّا أَبِيكَ أَخِي الْمَكَارِمِ وَحْدَهُ وَالْفَيْضِ مُطَّلِبٍ أَبِي الْأَضْيَافِ
Translation
✧ [The elegy of Matrud for ʿAbd al-Muttalib and the sons of ʿAbd Manaf] Ibn Ishaq said: Matrud b. Kaʿb al-Khuzaʿi said, weeping for ʿAbd al-Muttalib and the sons of ʿAbd Manaf: O you man who is shifting his saddle, will you not ask about the family of ʿAbd Manaf? May your mother be bereft of you, had you alighted at their abode, They would have protected you from any offense or calumny. They are the ones who mingle their rich with their poor, Until their poor returns like the self-sufficient. They are the bountiful when the stars change, And the departers for the journey of the ilaf. They are the feeders when the winds blow against each other, Until the sun sets in the tremulous [west]. Since you have perished, O father of noble deeds, no knot Has ever been tied over your like from the water of a well. Except your father, the brother of generous qualities, alone, And al-Fayd Muttalib, the father of guests.
