1. You insult a people who protected your women,
While you are the son of Yarbou', blamed for tyranny.

2. We protected the son of Yarbou' from tyranny, after
You made them drink a cup of humiliation and tyranny.

3. The next morning, Malik wanted to make you
Collapse into the abyss, but the gusting winds saved you.

4. So you sought refuge among the tents, while you
Were like prey lured in by traps.

5. When crowds gathered in Sajjah, led
By delusions that lead to ruin.

6. We left them slain, their backs
Stabbed by fierce, relentless spears.

7. We defended and terrified your brother, so their
Arms and hands became spoils for you.

8. As was foretold about Malik by all your gathering
In Sahl al-Hima, a deadly stabbing attack.

9. So how can Taim insult those who protected him?
The horsemen of Taim and their piercing spears.

10. They know Taim defended you when you
Joined the glory, despite the biting hounds.

11. I wish to smell Dhu'aba and Dhurra,
For I have the best of Taim, their leader.

12. There is the son of Taim, their prime origin,
While you are the son of Yarbou', who abandons.

13. On the day of Irab in the valley, when you were
Defeated, the Yarbou' were pushed back.

14. The victorious Taghlib went one evening
With your women, whom no veils protected.

15. The Harimiyyun wore your faces as masks
As long as poetry had a weaver.

16. You surrendered Sufyan by force to the people,
Despite the cries for help from the suffering women.

17. In Al-'Akk, the Kalbi humiliated your women
The next day, as the abandoned ones cried for help.

18. Unrestrained, so that after their tears flowed
They brought them down from their litters.

19. And 'Amr bin 'Amr led you, so thank him
In Dhi Najb, while the people plot and scheme.

20. In Dhi Najb, if the Malik clan had not pushed
From behind you, your condition would be ruin.

21. You surrendered the horsemen of Sa'd, and you can see
In your homes the miserable, suffering women.

22. On the day a battalion ascended for Haufazan,
Ancestors of yours from near Hajar set out.

23. You were the worst of tribes on the day of Buhayr,
Rabble, if not for the Muzayni, skilled in battle.

24. On the day of Banu 'Abs in Sharj, your banners
Were united to kill him, and the spears.

25. 'Abqar, when she summoned you, disgraced
Your dignity with the clothes of menstruating women.

26. Yarbou' will wipe his vile loins
Blackened by the semen of slaves.
