1. I was told that two thousand Khazraj defended
With armor and lances held high

2. And the cavalry never rested, charging
At the leopards until overwhelmed with men

3. The captives now belong to whoever survives the fray
Among them Hubain and Ya'mar were disappointed

4. And the Adi went to help their neighbors and were successful
While others in their stead were more patient

5. And Attab son of Sa'd plundered their possessions
As Bahra the sly and scheming took control

6. The crescent shone between ruins and villages
Sweeping over them in the dusky twilight

7. Lo! The worst of men wherever you meet them
Are the wanton and reckless, the rabble and riffraff

8. And Amr son of Bakr, his secrets were not unveiled
As I listed Abdallah among those to be ransomed
