1. The tribe of Azd, their swords are upon all their enemies,
And the sword of Ahmed, to whom the Arabs submitted,

2. A people who, when suddenly confronted, prove their mettle, and if defeated,
Do not falter, nor do they know flight,

3. A people whose attire in every battlefield,
Is white, smooth, and plunder of David,

4. The white upon heads beneath which is prowess,
And upon the robes, the dark complexion and might,

5. The white laughs while deaths wail,
And the dark complexion trembles while souls are seized,

6. And which day of the days is there not for them,
An act in it that is beyond wonder?

7. The Azd are most charitable when walking on foot,
And highest ranking when mounted,

8. O tribe of Azd, you are a high-minded tribe,
Who do not weaken when times get tough,

9. You have kept your word and loyalty is your trait,
And never has falsehood mixed with your honesty,

10. When you get angry, people fear your might,
And easing it on them becomes difficult for you,

11. O tribe of Azd, I am pleased with all of you,
You are the chiefs, not the riffraff,

12. Azd will not despair of life and forgiveness,
And God looks after them wherever they go,

13. You are good people recently, as your first were,
And grapes are not picked from the thorn,

14. And Azd is an origin, if competed with, they excel,
Or contended with, they prevail, or if oppressed, they overcome,

15. Or if found many, they multiply, or if shown patience, they endure,
Or if accused falsely, they forbear, or if robbed, they recover,

16. They were chosen, so the Creator made them successors,
No vanity or frivolity tainted their chosen ones,

17. Due to their good manners, their gatherings are pleasant,
Neither ignorance dishonors them, nor nonsense,

18. They do not exaggerate what they discipline besides their seeker,
And the lion fears them when they get angry,

19. The gentlest handed of people when asked,
And most resolute hearted when called upon,

20. And which large army's unity cannot be broken,
When Ghassan and Nudb submit to them,

21. So may God reward them for what they came and loved,
The Messenger and every good they earned.
