1. Asma will certainly ask while she is lithe,
Her advisors, was I banished or not banished?

2. They will say to her, we banished his horses,
The mangy dogs, and you were not banished.

3. So I will seek you for booty and forays,
And I will lead the horses to soft meadows.

4. And the horses prance with vigor as though they were
Snakes lined up on the most direct road.

5. So I will take vengeance for Malik and for Malik
And for my brother Al-Marwazi who was not supported.

6. And for the slain man of Murrah I will take vengeance, for he
Is a branch, even though their brother was not intended.

7. O Asma, sister of the clan of Fazarah, I
Am setting out, and man is not immortal.

8. Come back to me, for there shall be no truce between us
After the horsemen when they lodged at the watchtower,

9. Except with every pregnant mountain goat and
Young calf of every tawny sheep.

10. And I am the son of Harb, I do not cease to kindle it,
The blaze, and I ignite it when it is not kindled.
