1. I am the source of the eloquent word,
Between cities and deserts far and near,

2. I am a knight, I am a poet,
In every epic tale and gathering clear,

3. When mounted, I am Zayd the valiant knight,
Among the brave warriors in the fight,

4. When speaking, I am Quss the eloquent bard,
Of the mighty tribe whose tales inspire and delight,

5. This and that is my habit,
In every difficult impasse I shine bright.
