1. Oh, hail to a house for the mother of Hisham,
How can a land be called safe with peace?

2. Rewarding with union when it was prevented,
What is mention after despair but sickness?

3. It erased the courtyards of the house after you,
Torrents of evening rain accumulating.

4. And every bird of prey as if its hunting
When the ostriches departed were hooves of ostriches.

5. It faces Iraq after desires were cut off,
The aspirations below determination severed.

6. When she laughs she does not stop, and when she smiles
With bright teeth, not blunting the essence of bones.

7. One evening we left while the eyes were as if
Streams of torrential rain not sleeping.

8. To the loud-voiced king, my family his ransom,
And my hip bones and high collar bones.

9. So do not fail to meet expectation, you and dew
Are allies of serenity in the place of abode.

10. Hisham slept for the doer, and Nawfal
And the family of Abul 'As for the best of people.

11. So you are hoped for from all of Umayyah,
And praised from dew and perfection.

12. And though I preferred Taghlib among towns
When it was dusty, of deep darkness.

13. And every headstrong man inclined to the fires
Insulting a Bakr for the worst of sins.

14. When the Bakrite knew you had descended,
He faced you with insults instead of any food.

15. By your life, the locks of Bakr ibn Wa'il
Are not with a returning people, their honor safe.
