1. You called upon the Commander of the Faithful, but he was not there.
Yet whoever fears, endures with fortitude.

2. When you call upon the Caliph as a supporter,
You are like one climbing to heaven on a ladder.

3. Thus you call upon an echo from where you cannot see.
If you imagine it, you will die in your delusions.

4. You insulted Quraysh deliberately and attributed me to folly.
Restrain yourself; what you say will become clear and known.

5. If one like me is in my tribe,
He is superior to the son of Lu'ayy, above reproach.

6. The testimony will uncover you from what you attributed to me.
So delay knowing, or go forward.

7. Indeed Quraysh does not neglect its affection,
Nor can its covenant be changed with commiseration.

8. An ancestry from them has passed and prayed in our footsteps.
We have an ancestry in the early forefathers.

9. They pulled so we pulled, preceding with their lead,
As a palm follows the palms at its base.

10. Indeed, he who tries to cut between us,
Is like one seeking refuge in the den of a hyena.

11. The beating of pots misguided you from their path,
So you became lost in their blindness, in confusion.

12. When you followed them in fleeing, they betrayed you.
Tamim tried the heights in clambering.

13. So you have become throwing my arrows at me and guarding
against my hands with my hands. You ignited your fire, so kindle it!
