1. The souls were healed of Qutaybah's and 'Amir's slain
On a day when the planets' ill omens appeared

2. Horsemen of Taghlib attacked them with spears
So they fled, leaving behind homes of loved ones

3. 'Umayr met his doom from our spears
As for you, O Jahhaf, you cannot escape from it

4. Do you think us incapable across the whole land
By God's House! That is one of the wonders

5. Don't you know we raid settlements
When there is no protector for one seeking refuge

6. O Bani Khatfah, count a father like Darim
Otherwise produce from yourselves one like Ghalib

7. He lodged a hundred settlements by his grave
Then returned to his comrades without loss

8. Wretched Kulaib has no neighbor to protect him
So what can the miserable trickster Kulaibi do?

9. You boasted vainly, O Jarir, but your place
Is a house set amidst the folding tents

10. Do you strive with mounted spearmen to catch up to Darim
What can the son of Kalb's den do from a secluded house?
