1. It is not for the loyal to rule, nor
For Amr to be foremost with gold adorned.

2. They weakened the Aus until not one of them
Could race a steed or take the lead.

3. Ibn Qays ruled the houses of Namr and they confessed
His complete supremacy, bowing to him from above.

4. He stretched out his hands which did not fall short,
And attained the highest ambition he sought.

Since the informant is dubious until attributed.

6. You humble the shoulders of men when
You shake the spear and refute the argument erect.
