1. The tribe of Darim near the sky while you
Are the scum of the earth, how far between that is!

2. Among them was a chamberlain and the son of his uncle,
Abu Jandal and Zayd, Zayd of battles,

3. And progeny of Hanzala Al-Jurai
As pebbles that defy every assailant’s grasp

4. And how many a chief did their spears drizzle
Between the sand dunes and rugged terrain

5. And were it not for them, O son of Maragha, you would be
Prey amidst the edges of the spearheads

6. They saved your captives on the day of Suhyubat
While the sons of Kalb the dog, the beaten wretches

7. So you fled, wary of the foxes when they vowed
With the roar of a towering, ferocious lion
