1. Alas! Who has deep sorrows in the late night,
And the people's path split into branches,

2. I have seen Jarba from the tribe of Lu'ayy ibn Ghalib,
Whenever the sincere confront him in dispute,

3. When a cunning man arises among the people,
They all stand together, then shout and become agitated.

4. What is the fault of one who calls to Allah alone,
And the ancient religion whose people are not disappointed.

5. What injustice is there against one who calls for righteousness and piety,
And mending the rift on a day with no safe passage.

6. They had already in the past tasted the bitterness of their affairs,
A scholar is not like one who has never experienced.

7. There was a lesson in the matter of the scripture,
Brought to you by a biased criticizer.

8. Allah has erased their disbelief and defiance,
They resent not the truthful speaker.

9. So their talk became invalid,
And whoever fabricates what is not true, lies.

10. Thus the son of Abdullah became among us as one truthful,
Despite an angry one from our people who was unforgiving.

11. So do not think we will abandon Muhammad,
To one estranged from us, neither an ally nor loved one.

12. A Hashimite hand will protect him from us,
Well-seated in glory, the best of mounts.

13. And Allah, who is his Lord, will give him victory,
With the people of Ukaydir or the inhabitants of Yathrib.

14. No! By Him who spurs on every noble
Smooth rock by the side of a date palm heavy with fruit.

15. We were true to Allah in this oath and were not
Swearing falsely by the hidden ancient.

16. We will not abandon him until we lie slain around him
Why deny the favored prophet?

17. So O our people! Do not oppress us, for we
Become angry whenever we fear injustice from our clan.

18. Refrain from excesses of your meat for us
And do not go astray from your view in every direction.

19. Do not begin with injustice and harm against us,
Lest we repay you doubly, along with mother and father.
