how do I say this in English, without losing the poetic meter, word connotations, or specific cultural context necessary to understand it?

لـو كنتُ من مازنٍ لم تَستَبِح إبلي
بـنو الـلقيطة من ذهلِ بن شيبانا
إذاً لـقام بـنصري مـعشَرٌ خُشُن
عـند الـحفيظة إن ذو لـوثة لانا
قـوم إذا الـشرُّ أبدى ناجذيه لهم
طـاروا إلـيه زرافـاتٍ ووحدانا
لا يـسألون أخـاهُم حين يندُبُهم
فـي الـنائبات على ما قال برهانا
لـكنّ قـومي وإن كانوا ذوي عددٍ
ليسوا من الشرِّ في شيءٍ وإن هانا
يـجزون من ظلم أهل الظلم مغفرةً
ومـن إسـاءة أهل السوء إحسانا
كـأن ربـك لـم يـخلُق لخشيتهِ
سـواهُم مـن جميع الناس إنسانا
فـليت لـي بـهم قوماً إذا ركبوا
شـدّوا الإغـارة فـرسانا وركبانا
