1. Khuza'ah, rejoice at the covenant, gentle one,
And increase the rule of Islam with victory.

2. The tie of the most faithful of people is enough,
For every ally, spoils and profit.

3. Misery insisted upon Bani Bakr
Minds slip when they insist.

4. They followed ruin and returned wounded,
So what they committed increased their wound.

5. Be gentle with those men who anger you,
They resolved and forgave the misguided.

6. Their criticism was facilitated, an evident gain,
And those who loved your people were disappointed.

7. Restrain yourself, the in-laws of Ibn ‘Amr
Are the highest dome and most honorable palace.

8. If not for the misguidance in your opinion,
You would have avoided blame and said farewell.

9. Does one who knows guidance and is content
And seeks it, equal one who turns away?

10. You try to ignite war until
You see it scorch the heroes with burning.

11. The words of an intelligent one have passed,
Who says the truth, not ceasing to advise you.

12. O Huwyyatib, do you strike an evil spark?
Leave the wise opinion and kindle it more.

13. Perhaps if you see it has flame,
You will be firmer in extinguishing it quickly.

14. Behind you, O Huwyyatib, is every anger
That death wipes with its edges smoothly.

15. A group prepares for God's victory,
Charging and wiping the necks smoothly.

16. Generous of soul and stir crazy,
Filling the souls of the brave with courage.

17. O Bani Bakr, have you not grieved me
As Khuza'ah and Wuhayb did and were glad?

18. It is misery, high upon misery,
That met favor and attained success.
