1. I hobbled my she-camel at the grave of Al-Mulawwah
In Dhi Al-Ramth, when his kinfolk had forsaken him

2. And I said to her: "Be crippled, for I
Tomorrow will go on foot, when yesterday I was its rider."

3. O son of the quarrelsome man, may Allah not make you distant
For all men are destined to drink the cup of death.

4. You were indeed generous with stallions, and a sword whose blows
Could not be parried.
