1. You have from Allah a close, beloved patron
So how many a day made pleasing for you has passed

2. You have achieved glory forbidden in the world
With the highest house in the heights adorned

3. Every Caesar falls short of the likes of him
And every conqueror is defeated by the likes of him

4. So O seeker of generosity without your own skin
I advise you, do not weary yourself or keep asking

5. A generous one, when he descends to his valley you will find him
As was said about the family of the slain generous one

6. More right to what Ibn Qais said to Malik
And worthier of what Ibn Aws said to Mus'ab

7. And had Al-Ijli seen his grandfather he would not have affiliated
To Ikrimah the Bountiful, ever and Hushab

8. Holding to fine character while some of them
Are frequently changing like a cask pouring out

9. Words you ransom with the prime chiefs
And you worship their excellence, nomadic Arabs being Arabized

10. He is the fresh, fragrant flower in whose headcloth
Or the wet pearl that is not yet pierced

11. My intimate curved me away from the skin of your torso
Relieve the suffering heart's yearnings

12. A glorious youth whose palms' gifts are pure
So do not mention me after them, O mother of Jundab
