1. I swore by a people who knew horses
They want the she-camel from her stumbling

2. And every sweaty one, like a claw wound
He has a shoe, but not the ostrich

3. They came together and all stood
At Arafat, O quencher of its place

4. A marriageable girl, he who visits her a misfortune
Has avoided blame and regret

5. That which they pelted at Mina competes
In its flowing there with the water of the clouds

6. And stones cast for purity and righteousness
As pebbles were cast by her finger

7. And feet that trample on "ashes"
Prolonging while she attached to it her turban

8. The clan of Moses excelled tribes
As the quail excelled the bustard

9. They supported the pillars of glory among us
And were it not for them, it would be without a pillar

10. And they persisted upon the paths of loftiness
And did not care for anything of weariness

11. Their oaths are only to the righteous
To reach the young man forever his purpose

12. And bay horses like high platforms
That lead to the perfect one her pigeons

13. And their money is only for generosity
Or for the carriers and love

14. And through them have been wed
The unsettled of courage and firmness

15. And their honor smells throughout the land
As her wine smelled good to its drinker

16. And were it not for them being among us
The lands of glory would have no settlement
