1. O city that we revived, do not forget us
And what harm in saying what we believe?

2. For us is the moon in the sky and every star
To which the hands of the guided point

3. I found God when He named me Nizar
And settled them in Mecca as our residents

4. He made generosity purely for us
And for the people stinginess, and for us good judgment

5. And strikes that Nizar made were not weak
For we are the stallions of the non-Arabs

6. And they do not carry the donkeys on their shoulders
Purifying those who wrap themselves

7. And they were not named after Abraha in pride
Announcing the circumcised handsome ones

8. And I did not find the women of Bani Nizar
To be loose, black or red

9. And how strange to me, by the life of a mother
Who fed you and others you suspect

10. You crossed the waters without a guide
And without knowledge, the mistaken trespassing

11. You are, with the change from Ma'add
Like Kahila before us and her searchers

12. You skipped their best - Aleppo and Nesi'
To the leaving governor who escaped

13. Like an evil goat that butts her milker
And the slaughterer's sticks throw her down

14. They are the sons of 'Amran bin 'Amr
Destroyers of lineage or preservers of it

15. The Azd is the Azd of Abi Sa'id
I dislike to call it Al-Mazoun

16. Which construction is like the abode of Bakr
When the wretched are titled the excellent

17. Wake up after the sleep of Abas and Niqr
And uncover the noble roots if we are stripped bare

18. The cracks are too narrow for us and they are spacious
And we abandon its concealed, buried water

19. And every herder ruins the plants
And firewood for them, and our kindlers

20. And it used to be said that Bani Nizar
Were weak, so they spent the night double

21. Nizar woke up to them with blankets
Hostilely with the pale, thin ones

22. And they set up pots working hard
Deceiving the dumb, empty-headed ones

23. And if I had sent an army of poets
They would have entered the houses of Al-Asha'ri

24. And if I traveled from the Arabs, I would leave
Self-sufficient, without the traveling bags

25. Some noisy women of Bani Hilal come
To a deaf, speaking like youths

26. They see the lowlands where they descended fertile
As protected and like rounded hillocks

27. As if the mother were Umm Sadah, because
They avoided her like a pregnant camel

28. I do not burn the authentic with lies
The shame of which burns me before it burns

29. Eyyad, when attributed to Ma'add
Even if the noses of the frowning frown

30. And they were among the notable ones of Nizar
And the people of its banner loose-clothed

31. You see our children as ghurral over it
And we break them with them, spread wide

32. And that is the striking of a five
Intended for a six, may it not be

33. And the distant parts of the quarters among them
For they have returned like one tribe

34. The people wanted those after me, Nizar
To go astray, refusing and twisting

35. They wanted the eternal tents
To be taken down and folded up

36. With a strike that has no cure and a stab
From which you see the most wretched stumbling

37. We made the Azraq and Yazin drink from it
And rugged As'ad until we quenched thirst

38. Scattered bits of a hoopoe and female troops
Chewing my flesh ravenously eating us

39. And were it not for the family of 'Alqamah we would have been torn apart
The remaining bits from the noses of those made Muslim

40. And in the days of Hatim and splendor
When the dew was slipping down beautifully

41. And the swords of Sa'd made the hyenas laugh
With corpses neither buried nor enshrouded

42. And the Nawaa Valley, the Nawaa was thrown
Aroaming desolation in the abode sometimes

43. Why are you saying, O Hamdan, we took their valley
And Kindah with hooks pulling

44. Toads of Jiyah that were thought to be an Udhah
Plastered over, its mud will prevent it

45. They see them with the finger-like projections
Fuel of Abu Hubabib and the gazelles

46. And it spread to soft Taghlib from Shadhaf
Like the plains spreading however they wish

47. And in the valleys are our fresh pastures
And a spring with no little outlets in the moumtains

48. And we left the nomads in cunning
Like the planks of the arrogant, towering tree

49. We tell them: Habi, Hala and Arhib
And in our verses for us are the skilled

50. And the sword of Al-Harith the bent was more deadly
To the mighty in the muscular giants

51. And we left over Hujr bin 'Amr
Plunderers who nibble and pick

52. And how strange is Jail, by the life of a mother
Who fed you and others you suspect

53. So we stirred them up, and it was a strike
You see their skulls smashed in it

54. And if I call those women from people
I would not call the small ones

55. And we, the morning after Sahuq, left
The protectors of Al-Ajdal in chains

56. And we waded in Qurat to 'Adi
And Mudar thought ill thoughts of us

57. Seas that drown the plain in them
You see the locusts as its ships

58. And its heat reaches your feet
When the two mills stirred up their hand mills

59. I have seen dams for you
And wishful thinking in one desiring

60. And we did not stop being like that every day
For the glory of an arousing, uprooting enemy

61. And I do not shoot the innocent without sin
Nor follow the paths if we followed

62. While we and Jandel the rebel left
Scattered regiments from different troops

63. It is as if Bani Dhu'aybah are like apes
Bats around a fire they warm themselves

64. They flap their brink and fall into it
Not knowing what they should avoid

65. So Ibn Al-Kayyis Al-Namari is not among you
Nor are you there with Dhughafil

66. And do not enter the houses of Bani Sa'id
Even if they said behind you armored

67. With a strike that follows the tinkling from it
The maiden of the quarter among them moaning
