1. News reached me that the son of Malik
Has sufficed as a rebel among his people, one who rose in revolt,

2. And Khawilid will meet you between Thursday and Saturday,
I see it as a wonder, nay his killing was more wondrous,

3. My mother is ransom for you, when you succeeded in killing him,
And I swear I prefer you over a mother or father,

4. For the likes of you paid the debt of protecting the tribe by force,
And the likes of you tired the one experienced in arms.
