1. The matters have been decided and the promises fulfilled,
And Allah, my Lord, is glorious and praiseworthy,

2. To Him belong the merits and the voluntary deeds and the highness,
And to Him belong the furniture of goodness and abundance,

3. Indeed the people of Aram and Aad were ruined by their plots,
And the people of Thamud were ruined after that,

4. They left their clothes over their defects,
So they became still in the courtyards of houses,

5. And indeed I became weary of life and its length,
And the questioning of these people, "How is Labeed?"

6. And I sang the day before the path of Dahis,
If the obstinate soul had eternity,

7. And I witnessed the summit of glory high,
Like the ankles of kings are witnesses.

8. And your father is Busr who has an age that cannot be refuted,
And will not return to renewed youth.

9. I overcame grief though I was not overcome,
A long, endless, extended lifetime.

10. A day that will come upon me and a night,
And both of them after passing will return.

11. And I see it coming like the day I met it,
It did not pass and I weakened while it was strong,

12. And I protected my people when Aamir called me
And the delegations advanced on the day of victory.

13. And the pillars of every tribe wavered,
And the brave horsemen of the honorable king repelled.

14. I honored my dignity so that it would not be harmed by cowardice,
Indeed the innocent one free of disgrace is fortunate.

15. No sooner do I become downcast than
The striking of the strong and the trembling of thunder cheer me up.
