1. Your time and the causes of death are many
The death of an old man from Lu'ay bin Ghalib

2. So O Amr, go easy, you are just his uncle
And his companion other than his close male relatives

3. You survived when the Mardi struck with his sword
From the son of Abi Shaykh Al-Abatihi Talib

4. And another like him strikes me with a sword
So that was a blow upon him that had no strength

5. While you coquet every day and night
In your Egypt white like the white-tailed lizards
