1. We are the builders and the lords, the people of Marib knew
That we are the people of scabbards

2. And that we are the lords of Baynoun and its meadows
And the best builders, not to mention the architecture

3. Baraqish and Ma'een, we populated them
And we are the lords of Sarwah and Rayshan

4. And Na't, we built its fortresses
And minarets that rose high piercing the skies

5. Talfam of Bawan and the two palaces, with wine
And comfort, and the villages of Sharh and Da'an

6. And the two Hindas, built by the crowned one from Tubba'
And the palace of flowers, perfect, topping the summits

7. And in Riyam and in the two Najds of mud brick
The minaret rose high and the builder surrounded it with a courtyard

8. And in Dhofar our fathers built chambers
And domes, and the palace of the king, the unique one

9. And the palace of Baynoun was erected and built
By the glorious Amr, and he leveled the palace of Gumdan

10. And the palace of Ahwar, the tallest of buildings, of Yazan
And the palace Fayyash in the meadows, both existed

11. And the palace of Suhayn was erected and built
By our father Kahlun whom we loved, O Kahlun

12. So Marib became perforated by the winds
After the palaces and after the buildings, an arena

13. He brought water to a dam for our Marib
For the two gardens, our springs and cobras
