1. For whom are the horses like the lofty clouds
Mares galloping with men

2. Startled by the rattling of armor and moaning
Bringing death on the tips of their forelocks

3. Boredom has forbidden them rest
So they made raiding the permitted livelihood

4. For a young man glorified by glory
His banners flutter on the summits

5. Time has sworn by the oaths of glory
To roll up the meadows with meadows

6. And return dawn to night with fruits
Of screams, and stars of swords

7. So beware the leap of a slumbering lion
Whose food is death when called to battle

8. For my heart from the harm of your dwellings
Is a witness who has perished from the arrows

9. Whenever I widen my patience in ignorance
Ignorance widens for it the ugliness of speech

10. Every day the face of a beauty makes me hope
Jealousy triumphs in the softness of burdens

11. O people of poetry cease your foolishness
And be content that we have abundant glory

12. For rhymes are your hired hands
And my hopes towards goals are my steeds

13. Eloquence is for you a source of income
While glory and wealth are for me

14. That I am a king and you are captains
The time of reproach for the scout is past

15. And if a songstress enchants me
She surpasses the running of ostrich and north wind

16. Hands gesture when I draw near
As the crescent signals to the fasting

17. I am a ladder for whoever makes peace with me
And a gallant lion for whoever desires my battle

18. My power honors that I see an oppressed man
And my soul refuses that I care

19. My hands are for protection and from me a eyebrow
An orphan, a foundling, and Zamaa the son of Iqal

20. A shelter for the criminal when
The pacts of hunting spare him

21. O people who won glories with hunting
And subjugated the difficult with the long lance

22. Like the Protection, and the injustice opened
To evil, the mouths of nights

23. And sorrows persisted, there it is confounded
Confused, lamenting in the depths of misguidance

24. Patience, that the laments jabber about them
The outstretched oaths, the meadows of glories

25. Complaining night and day are their singing girls
The mouth of the prey and the twisting dunes

26. Leave this madness, and the people have indulged in it
This glory is too lofty for saying and speaking

27. No shame, or I will send out the horses at dawn
Like a torrent roared by the north winds

28. Taking my right with my predecessors
With forelegs, quickly into the stab

29. Do not blame me in my misery with glory
Easy living is for the owners of tents

30. That I in glory disobey those who blame me
Like the Aid, in spending gifts

31. The fighter prepared when life was difficult
With the quiver of virtues, stretching to spend

32. With a bit of dew's rest
Flooding the nonexistent without being asked

33. Humanity shines in its corners
Like lightning flashes in the heavy clouds

34. A sword of power its edge adorned it
Thus by nature without need of sharpening

35. A lion who kills fears with terror
Thus with his roar without need of howling

36. Whenever he restrains himself from leaping
Fear departs from the minds of men

37. A reconciler of conflict not influenced
By the disputants' defiance or lengthy debate

38. If he recited his argument in battle
The heroes would fall without fighting

39. Generosity like pouring rain whose knocking
Is for the bankrupt, and patience like mountains

40. Seeking provision travels with effort
While seeking life travels with fatigue

41. Staying up the night, far from his morning
Chaste in his cloak, without sinful deeds

42. For glories are flowers in union
While sins are weeping in remoteness

43. And if he frowned in requesting
He destroyed livelihood with grape wine

44. Wherever the hoped for minister lodged
A lofty pillar, quick to help

45. An heir of glory from his elders
Taking without payment from without payment
