1. Ibn Hammad advanced and outshone
Their drinking cups, thus the gambler won

2. Bilal made them gulp it down
Before their throats by his buckets drawn

3. A horse whose rider is Dhahhak
Beneath the banners of armies back

4. And its neigh in the night
Of anxieties and confusion the plight

5. Unyielding it remains unless
You find it shattered into pieces

6. Oh you of glorious deeds and grace
Above all pure and modest in place

7. And a young man of Uqail when
Afflicted by major calamities then

8. Most virtuous in manners when
Hearts are shielded from deceit within

9. Whenever Hawazin lacked in need
Of guests and neighbors indeed

10. And the loyal one raced to the aid
Of his brother undeterred by reproach made

11. The land clad in its wintry gown
And the air is rowdy and frown

12. You were the one hearts would go to
Of Qais in times of woe

13. You protected the houses of Shayban
Son of Tha'labah from decline

14. When they resided by you, you were to your neighbors
Kinder than anyone who neighors

15. And you brought them close as if to mend
The broken parts together you blend

16. And you hosted them while fate with
Unruly groups conflict did instigate

17. They who divided war spoils with
songs of glory, generosity great

18. They on the day of Dhi Qar were the ones
Who battled fiercely locking horns

19. Oh Rafi' son of Muhammed who for
Major sins the burdens bore

20. And for his love, gifts were sent
To buy provisions is money spent

21. Do not let anyone deter you
From your gifts and seeking virtue anew

22. Wealth hasn't preserved the honor
Of man or closed the door of the poor

23. Noble lineages have vied before us
Yet glory did not make them prosperous

24. Hasten with your wealth, leave it not
Calamities have forewarners got

25. It will save you from asking for drink
And bold death that makes hearts shrink

26. Caravans touring their abodes
While praise of you both present and past episodes

27. Progeny of Mahya are the best nurtured
More so than noble ladies measured

28. They taught Ka'b eminent skills
Of assault and continuous strikes

29. And hospitality to guests they showed
With utmost generosity flows

30. Their lords, kings and brilliant stars
You are the noblest among them by far

31. When matters of lineage come to fruition
