1. O you who brings sorrow to men, Tariq,
And you, mature Wassnan, son of Tufayl,

2. His tribe's leadership was once for Muharraq
Then later it became Nu'man's to avail,

3. I counted all the ships of Hawazin
As greater than me, so I came with a bail,

4. Now I have the firm, noble lineage through my father
Who begot me, of mighty Dasa'a, it did not fail,

5. O Uncle, you are a horseman of might
Whose youth rivals Nada and Qayan the hale,

6. And know, son of the horseman Qurzul,
You fall short of whom you strive for and hail,

7. The horsemen of Aamir are not pleased
With you excelling them, among Ghailan's tale,

8. So if you meet the brave Hammas and Malik
And Banu Dibab and the family of Qanan the pale,

9. Ask about the man whose name is renowned
Who drove the enemies away from Najran the frail,

10. Al-Maqadas is given, among his tribe's horsemen,
Generosity - by your life! And magnanimity prevails in Yemen.
