1. Advance and say, stop, O Jarir!
For this is Al-Hutay'ah, no protector.

2. I imagined your horn as helpless,
Until you extended yourself, and woe to you, the shooting of the blind!

3. You threw your stick yet you are no Moses,
You are not the All-Hearing, nor the All-Seeing.

4. My sea is deep, and you are the drowning one,
Your stick did not part the seas.

5. Had I known your disobedience before,
I would not have planted feelings in you.

6. You have feathers like birds, but
You are no more than a chicken, you do not fly.
