1. With Sa'd's mounted riders at Khindif
And with Qais, you know their abode,

2. And if you ask Al-Hayy from Wail
A young camel will inform you, and its old one too.

3. At the valleys of Jadood, now desolated
By the neighing of the horse stallions

4. With mounted knights, like pillars from Wail
Guarding the frontiers, roaming them

5. The earth nearly shakes for him out of veneration
When he walks, its pillars tremble

6. Qadamis leads them, driven by motivation
And Abjar, whose heels flutter

7. And Jaththam, when he walked among his people
He brought us foolishness, and his red camels

8. And Taghlib, when the enemy of Laqeeh fought it
It raged, and its fires blazed

9. The morning the sound of drums reached us
With no regard for abandoning it

10. A cry for Dhabbah, the day of Hudhail
And Dhabbah returns the wailing of its women

11. They took them by surprise, and the dawn was a raid
The kindling fires of the warriors' quarters

12. With lions from the horsemen, vanquishers of necks
Unafraid, did not dread its inflammation

13. So it destroyed a blooming youth, Sharmadh
Whose desires were boundless, well-bred his pedigree

14. Qadim leads them, and fame is known upon his neck
Which his twisted and curled hair-locks sing of
