1. Perhaps you forbid desire though you persevered
And left morals with which you lived forever

2. Now after old age does desire lead you
To undesirable affairs, not pleasing tomorrow

3. You were perturbed, if only you obeyed when you halted
At the base of the tent of your love to ascend

4. Desire is attained from people of wrongdoing and stupidity
Likewise affection is attained by those who befriend

5. If only days with wrongdoing and stupidity
Would return, we accept them if they were usual

6. Thamad was watered by the Sender of rain and twisted valleys
It was satiated and flags confronting Thamad

7. With what descended on Thamad between lightning
Prosperity and lofty mountains outpacing birds in flight

8. When it descended with the veil and faced
From Nir flags altogether scattered

9. While your family at the ridge where gardens grew
Of Jasmine, Sidr and Gharqad

10. Affection from it is severed except a remnant
And desire went against what you want so it distanced

11. So this matter became something I hated
Perhaps what the soul dislikes may become more guided

12. You did not see me except dishevelled and pale
With poetry that moaned, then I recited

13. Nor did I see her except a seat for an hour
With which she stole my heart, what a seat!

14. She leaned on it over the right side
Of a smooth neck, then over that she leaned

15. On a pillow as if it is the lightning on the night of the full moon
When the two eyes incline in it, you see it

16. Elegant to the glance until it is satiated
She has a lower lip on which the edge of her veil flows

17. On smooth bright not gloomy
And a mole like the plumage of a Sabiree dove befallen

18. By returning passenger doves so it was rouged
As if spots from a smooth armlet on which

19. Bracelets sprinkled sand until it was covered
It is stained by it on both wrists after

20. My sins marched on its body so they humbled
And met sublime delight so with it she rose

21. To the height of youth filling the eye, everlasting
As a sprout shot up amidst enclosure

22. From water it is fed nourishing food
Luxurious, tasting no misery nor being denied

23. Any wish of hers by anyone lowly
You are astonished by import of Saroora

24. And precedence of a chapter from despicable riffraff
If the Yarboo had raced on steeds

25. But they raced a tied donkey
And said Jarir will protect our vessels

26. You lied but I have been lighting their fires
So Kolayb acknowledged in arena of a race

27. Nor did they join people in spectacle
Noise arose from Ibn Ukht Aisha when I paired him

28. With the text of strength from me more cutting and reaping
Had you competed with an equal sea

29. But you competed with a turbid sea that settled
It has depth, abundance without cliffs

30. And it faced you roaring, muddy and turbid
When horsemen of brave Tameem unsheathe

31. Aba Nahshal and courageous Thafnadda
And Sulma when war came full circle with us

32. We covered the glorious, praised Thafnadda
We killed a victim from Reyah at Mowahhad

33. Who sacrificed himself when cowards deserted
We defeated your group at Maniheen

34. And yours was the worst day at Maniheen
We killed you afterward though captivity befell you

35. So killing captives was worst for you
We made the dawn prayer at Al-Soley'aa obligatory

36. Which people obeyed the leader vilified
And worshipped Yaghuth at Mojeeza

37. We left him bending to the spear he intended
And spared Hasan Ibn Auf as our spears made him

38. Still on the left cheek a slain victim using it as pillow
We forcibly captured Owf Bin Nu’man

39. And we used to defeat troops who volunteered
In past when the spears of Yazeed befell him

40. We favored him after his pact by hand
Tayy did not ransom our captive

41. Husain with any reward though he was mentioned and recorded
We favored him with a favor requiring no

42. Reward but mention occurring tomorrow and next day
Horsemen of Taym, people of glory, marshalled

43. Aba Nahshal and courageous Thafanadda
And Sulma when war came full circle around us

44. They covered the glorious praised Thafanadda
We killed victim of Reyah at Mowahhad

45. Who sacrificed himself when cowards deserted
We defeated your regiments at Maniheen

46. And yours was worst day at Maniheen
We killed you afterward though captivity befell you

47. So killing captives was worst for you then
Islam with peace later made us prevail

48. After killing dualist and unitarian kings
My pool was not disgraced by their spears

49. Rather by vanguard leaders of battalions while hunting
If a Rahbahband pleased with what they built

50. They found my tongue toward them resisted and deterred
So I was truthful and you lied and alleged

51. No stairs for lies made God for you
You were arrogant due to Sa’d as one who inclines

52. To lofty moon when it lights up intensely
You incline to full moon while below it

53. There are bright stars that guide the eyes upward
No Qays the son of Aasim of the Yarboo

54. Nor Fadaki O Jarir the son of A’bada
No clan of Jiz nor O Jarir and those

55. Who lit fires of affliction in days of Saihad
Nor the Lebidah women who set up seats

56. When they howled in Ghaital wearing gowns
Nor the valor from clan of Ajarib that became

57. For their clients a strong reliable pillar
Nor Zabraqan Bin Al-Arraineen and Tharwah

58. Nor clan of Shummas nor clan of Asa’d
Nor from Yarboo warriors that inhabited them

59. Seas of horizons, glory and protection
But Sa’d whose clamor befell you

60. And before you disgraced your father humiliating
Those are glories when capable and vanquishing

61. Yarboo plunged in them unique and singular
I summoned the courageous of their women so they answered

62. Bald coquettes with shaved forelock
Leave my supporter – no sin that I prevailed over you

63. And was like one hoping for profit but lost
When we counted every misery and blessing

64. Proof of truth emerged clearly distinguished
I found Tayyim pure except for you

65. And villainy of the Yarboo folk eternalized
If not for treachery of your father Yazbo’ you would be reformed

66. But Yazbo’ your father so he ruined
Yazbo’ is cowardly if Ghodanah his wife

67. Summons slave girls trailing necklaces
As Khowwarah whose nostrils reeked

68. Of donkey urine when wearing gown
And sons of Yarboo sheep-like despised

69. Riding crippled of glory paralyzed
Would you disavow relation to Yarbooya

70. That clings to urine of sheep when heated and cooked?
As Khowwarah clung when her nostrils sniffed

71. The stench of a tied donkey she milked
The groom flees from the couple if their gowns swell

72. Fleeing once dresses from them were shredded
You see their slit ejecting as if it is a tongue

73. Emerged between two swollen folds
Vaginas like palm fiber discards

74. Whose traces palms when rubbing are collected
When their leader sniffs mighty storms rise

75. Carrying dust of dung like pillars
As if denuded Jafar from blind camel angrily stirring

76. Made froth that mouths enrage and contort
When herdsmen of Ibn Murshal pass by

77. They equal honored generous people of virtue
If ambitions arose one day for evildoing

78. Evil guided it until it landed
They are worthless imbeciles from Arn whose villainy

79. And who when traveling to pasture sheep are vile
You lampooned Obaid falsely while he is truthful

80. Yet only saw to concede and sit
Did you say to him after unprecedented incident

81. By which mouths of women were appalled and scattered
In past when their protector was derelict

82. And their claimant drowned in marsh and quicksand
They snatched gowns from you in the dark

83. So you did not retaliate tongue or hand
They prevented their flocks at Al-Sulai’aa by a stab

84. You see their openings dedicated
You took refuge at Al-Waqba by swords of Maazin

85. The morning they dressed Shiban in ire condemned
Were it not for thickness of lineage of Amr you would be

86. At base of barren valley ostriches scattered
You boast of killing Manicheens when someone else O people

87. Of evil Yarboo, was more courageous
Are you not related to Yarbooya that sticks

88. To urine of sheep when heated and boiled?
As Khowwarah clung when she sniffed one day

89. The stench of a tied donkey she milked
You lampooned obedient Obaid and he is truthful

90. So you did nothing but concede and sit still
After what none other like it by which

91. Mouths of women were awed and dazzled
In past when protector of your sanctuary slipped

92. And caller drowned in marsh he intended
They snatched gowns from you in darkness

93. So not a tongue or hand you extended
They are sons of evil Yazbo’, lewd and vile

94. Trailing crippled old man confined to chair
Poor Obaid you blamed harming him weak

95. Yet only saw to admit and stay put
I said with right and you alleged falsely

96. God installed no stairs for lies
You were arrogant due to Sa’d like one who longs

97. For distant moon beaming beautifully
To full moon you long but below it

98. Are planets guiding the eye upward
No Qais son of Aasim of Yarboo

99. Nor Fadaki O Jarir son of A’bada
No clan of Jizr O Jarir, nor those

100. Who ignited fires of war in days of Saihad
Nor Lubdah women who placed chairs

101. When they howled in Ghaital wearing gowns
Nor courage from clan Ajarib that became

102. For their clients a pillar, strong and steady
Nor Zubraqan son of Arrain nor Tharwah

103. Nor clan of Shummas nor clan Asa’d
Nor of Yarboo warriors inhabited by

104. Seas of horizons, glory and might
Except Sa’d whose clamor hit you

105. And before, disgraced your father humiliating
Those glories when Yarboo deeply plunged in them
