1. A vision from the sons of Jusham son of Bakr
They watch over Qina, the threshold of enemies

2. When they descend to protect Himyar from the land of Najd
Its anticipation suffices to guard the permanent dwellings

3. Arabs, when they get angry, blood pours
Coppiously from the veins of warriors

4. They have hands that tighten the reins of their steeds
With the edges of decorated iron

5. And necks on which is an old hunt
Hiding glory with excellent mounts

6. And if you lived next to them you would be burdened
Brooding between your neck and achievement

7. When the back of the earth dries up
They are the most verdant of the lands, valley and plateau

8. And among them are all distinctly beautiful
As if their face veil is restless and a pillow

9. And were it not for her criticism, she would have ridden
To the lap whose hooves are from thoroughbred horses

10. She came so it seemed my eyelids scolded me
The passages of worries upon the crown

11. And between her necklaces and earrings is a distance
That describes what is between them of separation

12. I choke my eyes with tears of passion
For I am lovesick and brokenhearted
