1. Tell the one who ruled, then his father ruled before him
Then before that, his grandfather ruled

2. And his grandfather's father ruled, going back
Until his lineage meets with Ma'add's

3. Then his forefathers back to the first one, from
Adam - no father or mother counts for him

4. O son of Buhabbah's pasturelands, slave of no god
Seeking help from one pleading - he wants it

5. So take my advice here and treasure
Me for words I excel at and take pride in

6. And ask me for more of your noble virtues
And glory that raised its glory to you

7. An Abdarite, when attributed to Buhabbah
Ancient lineage, its warp and weft apparent
