1. After the people of Abd Shams departed, Kada became desolate
So Kudayy, Ar-Rukn, and Al-Bat'ha became empty

2. As did Mina, Al-Jamar, and the people of Abd Shams
Becoming uninhabited places, flatlands, and deserts

3. The tents that were in Usfan, Al-Juhfa, and Al-Juhayniyyah
Among them were Al-Qa', Al-Abwa, and lonely places

4. Extending to Ta'ahin and As-Suqya
Barren places after the people of Abd Shams left

5. I saw them during the seasons coming
As young men, achievers, and splendid folk

6. And beautiful women like statues
Upon them beauty, vitality, and bashfulness

7. They do not sell themselves out during the season of people
When women of shamelessness roam around

8. Appearing beautiful and tall like cypresses
Looking as gazelles look at vegetation

9. Joyous living when my tribe was united
And their affairs not torn by passions

10. Before the tribes coveted Quraysh’s reign
And the enemies rejoiced at that

11. O you who desire the demise of Quraysh
By God, their lifespan and demise belong to Him

12. If Quraysh were to bid farewell to the lands
No living tribe after them would remain

13. If you were to forsake people, they would be
Like sheep taken by wolves when shepherds are absent

14. Do you see anyone immortal besides God?
While things pass away, He remains

15. People have hope for tomorrow while fate
Has something else in store for tomorrow

16. We did not remain safe as people envied us
And prosperity flowed abundantly to us

17. So we were content, and may your affliction die
And no other malady take your life

18. If the sky were to cry over a noble tribe
It would have wept over us

19. Among us is the unlettered Prophet
Among us is the truthful one and the caliphs

20. And the martyr of The Confederates, Hamza, is from us
The lion of God and the splendid model

21. And Ali, Ja'far of the two wings
The successor and the martyrs are there

22. And Az-Zubayr, who answered God's Messenger
During hardship and tribulation with tribulation

23. And he who soured Ibn Dumat's joy
As the devils and thirsty swords raged

24. So he made Iraq permissible to strike them with the sword
Delivering blows amidst the striking while valor peaked

25. They were absent from terrifying regions
Where only swords could bring comfort

26. Yet they strove to diminish you, but God refused
Except what He sees and wills

27. Enviously when they saw you distinguished by God
With what the prominent were distinguished

28. So you went out following their guidance
And your goal was not pretension

29. Whether you live, it will be with prosperity, and if you die
It will be like the dispersion of clouds

30. Mus'ab is but a meteor from God
Darkness lifted from his face

31. His reign is one of power, not of
Tyranny, nor arrogance

32. He is mindful of God in all matters
And one whose concern is righteousness succeeds

33. God knows the worth of a tribe that wants
To degrade you and bring wretchedness

34. After God honored you with integrity
And your enemies scattered

35. And there are men whose names I would mention if you wish
Among us are the judges and the scholars

36. Among them is Suhayl ibn ‘Amr of enduring pact
Protecting a neighbor when alliance was cherished

37. He sheltered his in-laws of Khuza’ah
When many living settled Makkah

38. When the Messenger said "Depart," they departed
Laying down the law plainly without secrecy

39. And men of the Ahabish were entitled to blood-money
From those who were endowed with blood

40. And the one Quraysh was made to drink his love
Upon him may a beloved shroud be bestowed

41. Abu Al-Fadl and his son, the religious scholar, Abdillah
If the jurists err in judgment, they reprimand

42. And he who if he gestures a slap at you
A retaliating champion and Atta would follow

43. And the erudite intellectuals counted
When the people are steeped in dark ignorance

44. They feed the poor from the rugged hillsides
Who sought shelter on the flat lands

45. From ample bowls as if they were rewards
Pouring forth like the flooding of valleys

46. They are the beloved ones in the garb of Yemen
In them are grace and splendor

47. They swore, "We will never cease to feed what
The north winds and morning breezes blow"

48. And Iyadh is from us, Iyadh ibn Ghanam
Who was the best of what women begot

49. My eyes, so weep for Quraysh - will what is gone
Return if you cry with weeping?

50. A people whose demise was by the swords of Bani Hillat
Fearing that the banner would be lost

51. He left his head like a worn-out waterskin
Setbacks carrying the news to and fro

52. Like the impact of feet, misfortune befell us
While people felt indifferent to what afflicted us

53.
By God, none are as sanctified as a house

54. Whose guards we are, upon it is sanctuary
God favored it with honor over all other

55. Places, and those praying in it are equal
The men of Lakhm, Judham, donkeys, and echoes burned it down

56. Yet we rebuilt it after they had incinerated it
So the foundation leveled and construction steadied

57. How can we sleep on mattresses, when looting

58. Encompasses Ash-Sham, an ardent raid
That bewilders elders from their children

59. And exposes the chaste young woman’s innocence
O Bani Umayya, I am distraught over you all

60. While you are the enemies within myself
Indeed, those killed at At-Taff have pained me
