1. The son of Jud'an bin 'Amr knew
That one day he would depart

2. And journey on a long trip
From which no traveller returns

3. So his cooking pots in his abode
Are left for the guest overflowing

4. The fragments appear from the
Glare of boiling in them and the bubbling

5. As if they, with what they contain
And what they are laden with,

6. Are like a she-camel in its stages
Roaming about with its young

7. Foam and bubbling like the bubbling
Of stallions when they compete

8. He surpassed all the vainglorious
In merit, as the society knew

9. And rose as high as the sun
Until none could compete with him

10. The sons of Fahr from the tribes
Of Ka'b and 'Amir submitted to him

11. You are the generous one, son of the generous
With you he competes who wishes to compete

12. Your forefathers are the piercing flames
The clement, the openhanded

13. And when their lightning flashes
Their palms rain down heavily

14. No side can contain them
Of an arena, neither neighbor

15. A people whose fortresses are the tongues
The arms, and the sharp swords

16. They descended on the open ground and were
Preferred in the essence and appearance
