1. Did you not see that the tribe of Haiy were content
At Ma'rib when they lived there together

2. Yes, and Bahrah and Khawlan, brothers
Of Amru son of Hafi branched out from those who branched out

3. Khawlan stayed there after Ibn Ummu
And so enriched my life in the lands and made them wider

4. So I did not see a tribe of Ma'ad with more noble dwellings
Than ours, of greater might and security
