1. For a people who have no goods to sell
Their blood spilled is never made well

2. He left the burden upon me and fled
I with the burden for him was steadfast instead

3. And behind vengeance from me a nephew
His knotted belt never comes undone

4. Bowed stagnant dealing out death like
A coiled viper spewing venom none

5. News that has not failed us fateful
Till in it the end did pull

6. Time tried me and was unjust
With a neighbor whose rope is never pulled

7. Thirsty in the grave until when
The fire was lit, so cold and shade

8. With ribs spared no misery
And palms generous, valiant and great

9. Decisive in resolve until when
Resolve weakens where it always will

10. A pouring Ghayth rain doing good where found
And when virtues flow a glorious flood

11. Generous among the living the best garb
And when running the swiftest steed

12. Who has two flavors sweet and bitter
And both flavors has fully tasted

13. Rides horror alone with no other rider
Except the left-handed lowest man

14. Secluded they became angry then bonded
Their night until the darkness lifted they enjoyed

15. Everything past with something past is gone
Like the lightning's glow when it is cast

16. So they took breath's rest but when
Sated their slumber, they lit unrest

17. We took vengeance on them and when
Of the two no survivors were left

18. If Hudhayl slipped in what likened them
It was for what Hudhayl was ruined

19. And for what blessed them in an enclosure
Clamoring wherein predators prowl

20. And for what it woke among their homes
After the killing, loss and fools

21. Hudhayl prayed against me ceaselessly
Doing harm until they are harmed

22. It drinks destruction until when
Destruction drinks it is filled

23. The hyena laughs at Hudhayl's dead
And the wolf for it yawns sleepily

24. Birds of prey shriek circling over
Swooping down on them but do not settle

25. Wine is forbidden but why
When unlawful does it still excite

26. So serve it to me O Swad bin Amr
For my body without it is destitute

27. Diffusing glory wherever he goes
In robes of praise a splendid suit

28. Bestowing comfort freely generous
One who in his open hands is humble thrives
