1. I am not alive among the men I have seen
For every man there is a day of bath and death

2. Death's caller called for a wanderer, so he suddenly came
And when they called by the name of Ibn Darah, listen

3. And Aus ibn Mughirah Al-Quraymi has passed away
Above Abu Yat's winds he has a grave

4. And Nabighah Al-Ja'di in the sand his home
Upon it a marble ornamented roof

5. And my tribe did not return from Humayri
To Ibn Wathil when his soul departs

6. I see Ibn Jamil's home in the island
He left the life and what he used to collect

7. In Najran, the joints of Al-Najashi have become
A place where pigeons roost and coo

8. And Shamakh and Muzarrid have died
Oh mighty one, I do not care if you prevent

9. Those are people who have passed for their flood
As Luqman ibn 'Ad and Tubba' have died
