1. Oh weep my eyes, cease not your flowing tears
For our affliction my cries shall ever last

2. Our clan can have no peace for many years
When noble Rouhain's valiant son is passed

3. When you all left, you were confused and lost
Abandoning your kinsman with no thought

4. Rejoicing in your plunder without cost
While by his death much glory was bought

5. The guide you left, protector of your band
You lost your course when you deserted him

6. Say to Nuwairah and Kulayb, stop your hand
For lasting shame upon you both shall gleam
