1. O Banu Uthman, you are in prosperity
While the rabble are in misery

2. When will your courtyard be watered
And your water sold for money?

3. Your miser is nicknamed generous
And your coward named brave

4. Is it names and titles among you
Through which glory and honor are attained?

5. After your servant you were
White prey for the wolves

6. What Sulaym did to you grieves me
For war is a hideous calamity

7. Abandoning home, no lamps lit
A place for neither guest nor empty

8. And betraying your allied tribes
While Hawazin made their home yours and plundered

9. They slaughtered you aggressively and wrongfully
At Tal Uqayb when bartering was hated

10. The Banu Abs did not support you
Nor did Fazarah say "Have caution!"
