1. O Peace! Slanted peace! Tell us when you will fulfill your promise and speak the truth to us
And if you slight me, then for the sake of connection when you are stoned with doubts

2. I am trustworthy with your secret, lest I suffer from what you entrusted me, distressed
So there is none like me excused with wishes, nor quenched with a cup of the heedless

3. And none like me who agrees with a friend, if his affection were skills
Except my peace like a gazelle of the sand, except for its buttocks and what adorned the innocent

4. And a branch raised in the meadows from it, and the beauty of supple and sturdy ankles
A horse of flank not nursed as an infant at its teats, and did not carry a fetus

5. And no strained honey in a glass is as delightful in taste to the drinkers
Than the saliva of Peace when the wine skins are tied by the revelers

6. Without knowledge of it except yearning, privately gazing upon the wishers
Lo! O you arrogant with pride! Come! Lo! Let me tell you the certainty!

7. For if you are arrogant and do not believe your words an indication to the askers
And if you are arrogant without reason with which you refute the words of the nullifiers

8. Then Khath'am has signs of blessing, guides to guidance, a clear light
And of the signs of your Lord that you see us satisfied with the dwellings of the tribes

9. And if you see among us a poor man, guesting the wealth of other tribes
And that the neighbor sprouts in our midst, and we hasten to the dwellings for the arrivers

10. And we will not accompany a traveling group of a people, nor companions of prisons ever living
And they would mix with us, except we parted from them, preferring graciousness

11. And of the signs of your Lord decisive ones, what we studied and what we forgot
Caves from knights and dogs, and Amr who admits and complains to us

12. That Al-Hayy deserted them for a bit, their limit confusing the confused
Nights alive, grinding dogs with effort, yet they are not terminating

13. And it was playing until we met, so it was stern and we were the players
And it deserted us, its knights and footmen, with the blowing wind, not pillowed

14. While we remain above a trace, with the rapacious birds contending
As if on its cheek and plaited hair were from the comets poured a draught

15. As if the birds were stationed over them, an army of the blacks' gloom
While we hold back the steeds, they bolted with the youths of morn, forewarning

16. From the confronting handle, theirs is Mars, to the two water-bearers water-pouring
So we reached the fog, and they had wished meeting us, desiring

17. They lead the looting, so our knights deserted them like the outstretched arms
We missed the steeds stumbling in their channels, frowning like the wheezing, newly bridled

18. Traversing `Amir until we took the people of As-Sudayf at dawn
At At-Tahina as if the eggs amongst it were stars of night or pores of floods

19. With the striking of Jimar's lightening, striking and stabbing, windows
From the impregnable castles, so we camped with them until we cut

20. Their tent ropes, which we had reached, a spring
Three months until the tribes of Hawazin altogether submitted

21. To the hiddenness of their abode, striking and looting, voracious, not doubling over
We left `Amir and the two sons of Shutayr, and Shaghala busy with the swords, confused

22. And we killed Hazzan the gambler, and left the son of Huzaah humbled
And al-`Abbas the brother of Ru'ayl whose hand we cut

23. With the white sword of Lahzam from it the sparks flew
And in Anas is resistance and another fled from Umm Hamat, her affairs distracted

24. And they were patient with the channel and steeds until they climbed it honorably, excusing
While we strike with every anger guiding the white and the ringed fortress

25. With the whip of Ukhtrub striking, we left Shanu'ah thereafter submissive
And the knights of Thaqif came to give victory then

26. When they faced us, they surrendered them and fled to a side from it quickly
And we orphaned Rabi'ah from his father, and with ash-Shadakh we cried the eyes

27. And we killed Sarah of Bani Jihash, and burdened their women with children
And the two Akhnas together we struck with the white of every bone quaking

28. So we left them as meat over which the returning eagles circle and meet
And we pursued the channel regarding the two sons of Dukhan, and they had presented themselves peaceably to us

29. And regarding their extremities until we returned with it bloodied, rolling
So the day of Al-Qarn, a thousand of Qays had positioned themselves, thirty

30. They held out, then departed regretting
And the people counted their killed, and they were over what we counted, multiplying

31. And of them is Khalid whose hands fell, and Hamat of Jabir when we were active
And Abraha the son of Sabbah whose companions we gathered, the tyrannizing

32. And of their killed were Qatan and Ghanyy in shackles contorting
And we saved tribes who used to be compelled, taking from them brown and grey camels

33. And we hastened to `Amr of Bani Zubayd, so Najah the fugitive saved him
And we led his mother until we paired her to two ranks from Juhyan hating

34. To the necks, then they disputed her, dragging her fetus
And the day of Al-Qa' we came from Saffan, Bakil and Hashid assembling

35. And we came in the vanguard of Tahoon for it ringing that deafens the hearers
As if the neighing of our camel-loads upon them were the neighing of fire igniting the thickets

36. Their zeal for the white castles poured, and we follow them until they withdraw
With polished swords the jinn wetted, with their hands refining the steel

37. And from he who transgressed the Law, when he trespassed, we tore the crown of the transgressors
So we clothed his body in coarse wool, from the Indian twisted for years

38. And the tribes learnt of us in Ma'add and Yemen the curing of the unjust
That we are the aggressors when angry, and we are the preferrers when content

39. That we do not die, even if we are overcome, upon the high-ground, except advancing
And that we are truthful when we boast, extravagant above the boast of the boasters

40. With a legacy the truth clarifies from it, and invalidates the lies of the embellishers
It encompassed what is between the coast of the extremity of Qays, to the edges except the circling

41. For it are brigades, if we assaulted with their zeal all the multitudes together and even the jinn unwillingly deserted them for the first bout against them quaking
The Age of Idolatry until the Messenger of God established among us, honest and trustworthy

42. So when the religion of Truth became mighty among us, we turned its sharpness to the disbelievers
And we killed the kings of Rome until we lived where they lived

43. And we sent its brigades so it ransacked the strongholds of polytheism and the polytheists
