1. The homesickness of the old dwelling has pained you
So you are silent remembering what you have remembered

2. You remembered the familiarity of the hills, and although
Years have passed and the driving winds have made them smooth

3. And the difference of the two eras, as if they were
Parchments climbed by the clearly visible traces

4. And the resolution of Hind wavers, so you are neither
Speaking of connection, nor are you deterring

5. And Hind, though you cling to her, is complaining
About you with what the generous friend provides

6. So I say, though her intention has wandered, the rain
Has watered Hind wherever it has settled healthily

7. With a horseman who passes the evening as if his steadfastness
Is on the eve of the loss of the scattering dirhams

8. It saw a blame that destroyed the progeny of its meadows
Issues that will not benefit them, and funds

9. When a star walks, a group comes to them
So neither time satisfies them, nor does the truth grow bored

10. Likewise we are accustomed to what befalls us
And truth has a tradition and prohibitions over us

11. And if wealth becomes scarce, dew does not fail
Upon us, so one of patience is generous and stifling

12. The meanings hidden by the stars of Tihama reveal themselves
Subtleties of the fates upon them and sins

13. With the love of my people, alive with war and messages
Tamim, when the forces fight against them

14. They succeeded the `Aad in the land with strength
With which great matters come to pass

15. Their superior chests and sharp swords protect us
Against high ambitions and from violating prohibitions

16. Our gowns spun by Dawood are extending over us
Including veils and turbans among them

17. We plunge though the coward's soul is straitened
Into the darkness of death, and death is constant

18. So we emerge while our swords are our support
To a limit the noblest aspirations rise towards

19. And we said, he who lives is not disgraced after it
And he who is vulnerable is not pursued by companions

20. And a narrow, difficult battlefield that has closed off
Its road with positions and strongholds

21. We witnessed that when its connections were tightened
Its narrowness that pressed together widened for us

22. We have a grip whose origin people have not reached
And a fortress the major sins retreat to

23. We have a towering glory, towering to the heights
And another a warrior against war, resolute

24. So which of the two would a group not follow?
Swords from us to the enemy, inspecting

25. And we preserved, keeping away from Khendif's approach when it came
And when everyone of a twisted disposition among the people was unruly

26. And when we separated from them and the reproaches
Of confusing affairs were flung between us and them

27. We refused, and did not ask for the allegiance of others
And the war of no living man would confront us

28. We lead the steeds, the gifts, to the wounded
And journey against the enemies until they clash

29. And we said to Qays, “Ascend,” so they ascended
And, “Distance yourselves from us, O Shayban,” and the defeated

30. They left between us pasture for the potent and the beasts
With it, a slumberer and a repeller who takes refuge in it

31. Meets its outskirts and settles
As if his arms and the nape of his neck

32. Approached and carried from it the floating feathers
And we prevented people from our country

33. With a stab and blow where the turbans are twisted
So if Islam has created affection between us

34. Then they have known in time how we fight fiercely
We establish our homes in the Abode of Preservation

35. And the captives are distributed among us and the spoils
Our spears on the day of preservation are like

36. Tall spires the observer avoids
Until I said, it is inevitable that he

37. Is the sublime revelation, though sins have accumulated on him
Until you see al-Arta, due to deployment, as if it

38. Were the rising thorn trees of the towering meadows
