1. If Mudar tribes differ, following their enemy,
Or gather, you will not be removed from their land, O Mudar!

2. Ask Thamim if they encountered for their non-Arabs,
The day of Ibn Arta’ah, when Al-Hawr distressed them.

3. You have violated the covenant of the sword, laid bare,
With Al-Mirbadain the next morning eyes overflowed with tears.

4. Is it not enough for them the violation of Azd’s sanctity,
In the ravaging of their homes, that stones were launched?

5. And people were emboldened whom despaired, when they cried out,
The cries of calamities, not conceding what they wrought.

6. And when they differed, no one gathered,
Nor for their gathering, did mankind assemble.

7. Thamim does not care what disgrace befell it,
When the excuse prevents disgrace from occurring.

8. Qais, more faithful to God's religion in its defense,
And more generous in news when you are tested.

9. And Qais Ailan, were it not for their good obedience,
With the root of Thamim, a torn piece, part.

10. Thamim sought the most secret fifths, when it met
One of the bridges, on which wine cannot be transported.

11. They were immoral and malignant, when there were no Arabs,
Except them, for them an eye, but no trace.

12. A folk of deserts, who possessed the kingship of men, theirs it was,
And the sun, at that time, neither rose nor the moon.
