1. The knight came, whose might makes the heroes shake,
Amr arrived, what a peer like Amr,

2. When the peers and brave are summoned.
None can match him among men, when

3. The blows intensify, and the spears rage.
His sword clanked, and his fame resounded

4. Loudly on earth. He said: “O Qays, you are
The master of a people, among whom none

5. Has status today but you.”
Whatever scheme you want, none deviate

6. From it, and wherever you are, they are.
Come with me, let’s see what he who went to forbid

7. The idols and statues to be erected.
If he is a prophet, the proof and miracle

8. Will not be hidden from us.
And it is right that he be obeyed,

9. Then our allegiance and faith are due.
He said: “O Amr, are you touched

10. By madness, so nonsense and raving increased?”
I am not one who yields my reins

11. To the son of a female, if you yield your reins.
If you submit to one who misguided people,

12. I do not submit to his like.
The knight Al-Zubaidi left angrily,

13. And the call and nonsense ended.
Seeking the field where good is sought in its corners,

14. And safety is hoped for.
The place of revelation, the soul pastures therein

15. Every time, and the Criterion shines.
He accepted righteousness and chivalry as religion,

16. So his soul became pure, and the heavens pleased.
Harm left him, so what is Qays’s concern?

17. Qays is indeed a burning volcano.
He said: “Woe to him! Do I command or

18. Prevent him? He disobeys and refuses.”
I will make him taste severe punishment,

19. To see my place, and how he is condemned.”
Thus ignorance makes people blind,

20. The minds and thoughts blinded.
And of the people there are insightful ones, who

21. See the truth as truth, and among them are the blind.
