1. A blame of a caring one, not lying,
And the advice of an honest adviser.

2. Her tears interceded with her tears,
When can tongues describe depression in detail?

3. And her sadness has a place in the heart of my heart,
That is on the embers of blazing coal.

4. Ghaidaa', time was quick to break its promise,
And with its fickle, changing betrayal.

5. So it took away the beauty of consolation and she found
Misfortunes that did not overturn.

6. She said, I see you in distress
In barren pasture and meager living.

7. Where the noble cannot find a match,
Who would pity him and take care of him.

8. So take refuge in a shadow of the people of Nizar, for they
Are people of glory or a side of Araba.

9. And get up to whichever country they resided in
On earth, whether near or far.

10. For there lies noble lineage, where
Pure ancestry with high demands does not tempt you.

11. I said: Live in the care of one whose
High office ennobled his great position!

12. A sea that when the thirsty come to drink
Its freshness is good for them and sweet.

13. Green son of Ahmad, a towering glory,
Faithful in his responsibility at the side of the road!

14. A cave that when weak ones seek its shade
They come to a kind, fertile refuge.

15. If the slave of Qais spoke ill of me while
Azd is between division and divergence,

16. Then I have held to the shelters of Wael
And overcome the events of time by triumph.

17. By the son of Murrth is the glory of Rabee'ah
And the son of Mu'aththal every great conquest.

18. How many a father of outstanding traits do you have
Esteemed, who brings forth noble descent!

19. And heights that efforts fell short of
So your mention reached to the stars' sublimity!

20. And when warriors struggle in battle
And compete for the cup of destruction and perdition,

21. For you there are well known positions in the fray
By inheritance from every ferocious warrior

22. O Green! You are clad among the nobility
From every noble house, veiled

23. You assumed leadership as a youth
And wore the turban of the venerable elder!

24. And the consequences of events made you seasoned
From the resolute, proven, experienced one!

25. So you are more discerning when you plan a strategy
Than the most astute one, known for his broken wrist!

26. And you are more high-minded with supererogation and dew
Than one who stands to pray and is focused!

27. And you are more inaccessible than Kulayb from the side
Of the exhausted refugee, watchfully waiting!

28. And it is as if - when asked for drink - your face
Were the beauty of polished Indian swords!

29. Take them to you as a means from one desiring
To gain nearness, connecting and causing.

30. They came to you with greetings to be picked
From a delicate garden and grassy meadow.

31. Tie this - like a necklace - arrange the verses with pearls
Except they have not been pierced!

32. This is your loyal friend seeking refuge
In your sanctuary from a harsh, clawed time.

33. A flash from your help has reached him
For the flash of your hands is unfailing.
