1. Kulayb has no good in this world or whoever is in it
If you leave it for whoever leaves it

2. Kulayb, what young man of honor and generosity
Is under the horses when the unwise mount them

3. The mourners mourned Kulayb, so I said to them
Did the land last for us or did its pillars last?

4. If only the sky above those under it would fall
And the land would invert and swallow those in it

5. The abodes in es-Sullam have become ruined
Crying for Kulayb while its outskirts did not panic

6. Resoluteness and determination were part of his making
Not all his traits, O people, can I enumerate

7. The leader returns the horses in their reins
Proudly when the horses sniff each other in hostility

8. The slaughterer, the pile does not stop feeding them
And the granter of one hundred reddish-black camels to their herder

9. Of the horses of Taghlib none meets their tongues
Except they have fertilized them from their enemies

10. He would tie them at dawn stirred up
Under the tent peg, their lead ropes knotted

11. They would be first during the battle
While you would be protecting during the day of battle

12. Until he would break the breastbones in their chests
Blue of tongues when their fangs are watered

13. It has become desolate, Jurud in Balqa’a
For the wild animals, a sleeping place in their pasture

14. They stampede from the stallions of men in it
And war voraciously consumes the peers who pray in it

15. Brandishing from the engraver a forged sword
Its tubes blue steels its notches

16. We would throw spears with our hands and hit them
White and dispatch them red their summits

17. O Lord of a day in which people will be in turmoil
In it you would see me inflicting devastation upon myself

18. Bringing forward warring parties, raiding
Sometimes enraging fire and sometimes extinguishing it

19. May Allah not reconcile whoever reconciles with you
Since the sun rose high in its orbit
