1. How many slain Suwaylim has,
Perishing in deceit, and how many wounded.

2. When one king is replaced with another,
And it roams wherever spring descends.

3. O descendants of Abbas, it is right for you, it is right,
It belongs more to you, and your affair altogether.

4. I see it losing one frontier town after another,
And that is due to your corruption, swift it is.

5. And it is not by the enemy's strength that is yours,
But the immensity of your partner decrepit is.

6. You see the great deed when its rule is assumed
By one governing it like an owned slave.

7. So if it is sold to nations over it,
Or else loss claims it as intimate.

8. It says when a people's lands disobey it,
Then it passes over them to others submitting.

9. When you cannot do a thing then leave it,
And pass over it to what you can do.
