1. You were imprisoned, so time was imprisoned for your sake,
And non-existence persisted in shunning your company.

2. O son of Al-Musayyab, say something true, not lies,
For if not for you, virtue and nobility would not be known.

3. You have granted me great bounties that made me eminent,
So it is fitting that my gratitude be as eminent as the bounties.

4. O you, at whose assembly people neglect
To seek glory, prompted by aspiration through you.

5. I saw your spear made of a smooth-barked wood
With no flaws or blemishes on its sides.

6. You are the heir, so unsheathe the sword triumphantly
To defend the sanctity of poetry when covenants were violated.

7. You have surpassed the glory of Qais in the land as a flag
That puzzles the land, and glory through you is exalted.
