1. How is satire, and never ceasing, ever useful,
When you are mentioned in absentia, it comes to me,

2. Muḍar gave them glory with their glory,
And they kept their glory for a time, until a time,

3. The lances of the tribe of Saʿd protected their people,
Pastures of red, darkness, and eyes,

4. With every bare-headed one, like a wild ass, chasing,
And a young horse like a wild dove swooping down,

5. Galloping squadrons, their tales, their regiments,
Until they saw them beyond imaginations,
