1. You insult Azd and the two tribes of Tay
You have embarked on something never attempted before

2. And if you revile the eminent Uliyy of Tayy
To them this reputation reaches every generous man

3. In them is the example of people you know
And the people of loyalty, old and new

4. While you are to the neighbors a pesky weasel
Accursed in evil, and son of accursed

5. When he fears, he hides his snout from his enemies
And if he does not fear them, he spends the night restless

6. For us is verdant Yemen and all of the East
And fertile Ahsa, O son of Qain of Tamim

7. For us is the fortress of Najd over all people
And we in Najd are the refuge of all the oppressed

8. You squander the sanctuary of the daughter of Ghalib
And cry for the dead of Manqar and Sarim

9. And cry for the companions of the night of Jithn
The crying of a man grieving over disgraces

10. You are not, if Qurma exhausts Umayya
Stars of the two Azds after the stars

11. By the Owner of the Throne, Umayya took them after
You gave the spears of Azd every inviolable thing

12. Do you hope after the morning of Azd to see
For your people a day, then other than disgraceful?

13. If you do not die until you rub sticks together
We will rub the likes of them in the homes of Tamim

14. And Azd made you take refuge, the day you met them
To a lineage, O son of mean hyenas

15. If a Tamimi prides himself on his people
Heads of those from Qahtan, other than forbearing

16. And if the wind of Qahtan blew on you a gust
With necks turned away from the face of barren winds

17. You would say, oh if only Sa’d and Malik
Were foreskins cut by the hand of a deaf accursed devil

18. Qahtan veiled Sham from you with the spear
In its regions, resident and transient

19. If you are the best of the two sons of Manah, both wretched
Then I am the finest of people, the best of Tamim
