1. Where are the plains compared to the mountains of Aamal
The meteors told of their heroic shoulders

2. Stout clubs, deep roots, towering heights
With gushing springs, parallel roads

3. Ordinary, nay beyond ordinary they took root
As bastions of virtue and excellence

4. If Alexander had tried to dam its valleys
It would not have yielded to the great conqueror

5. Its towering peaks hiding the sun
Until the migrant seems like lightning bugs

6. From every towering dune, curved hills
Swooping down on the ravines with rings

7. Like the morning star at its rise
On the west side among the springs

8. As if its insides and its outsides
Poured a torrent for the questioner

9. When the breeze whiffed through its expanses
It cured the sickly in the gardens

10. I turn my gaze to its plains and aridity
As if it is the one with the flowing wrap

11. I listen and its anklets do not ring for me
Why so for she who has moles and anklets?

12. I water it from its four squares
With dew from Aamal in each of my hands

13. It is like the sea except that it is fettered
Overflowing, frothing, having no coast

14. Do you see it has anyone to duel it? Does the sea
Of currents have any to duel?

15. Or do you see anyone to equal it? Do
The two horizons have any to equal?

16. It harbors ancient glory in its coldness
Inviting yet no easier to obtain

17. How great if it shook its domains and rose
It would breathe magic into Babel’s zithers

18. Verdant yet harsher than those who clashed with them
Harsher than seas sculpted by rivers

19. I contend with the birds, oh what a difference
Between bird chirping and contention!

20. I honor, more than any Aamali
Those who became piercing with knowledge, not riches

21. Ties to wisdom - it granted them -
And if they dissolved, the bonds of struggle

22. Say: judgment’s decision, however they speak
And if you wish, say: the separator is decisive

23. The honor of excellence makes them glow
Its clouds slipping from the sandal strap

24. Ask Aamal, it will tell you about them, that they
Are for the questioners and the probers

25. They are the sheltering, the attainers, and who
Other than them for stumbling and goals?

26. They prevent injustice upon their neighbor
If fateful events befell

27. They water the soil in dry years
The land sprouts in a barren year

28. If a night raider disturbs their neighborhood
They do not trade the sheep for the swords

29. Tribes who have never seen
Tribes like Taghlib and Wael equal them

30. Ghatarif and others like fins
Seizing chances of ghuael

31. No hatred has turned their chests
Those are the ways of early Arabs

32. You know the lineage of the purebred in their traits
Just like the selection of swift steeds

33. Their liveliness expresses in their
Adornment and gentle traits

34. No early cloud let fall on them a shower
That greeted their morn with rain and hail
