1. God granted that I would meet Humaid bin Bahdal
In a position wherein halfway I found guidance

2. So we may give him and test between us
A lantern that lights up confused understandings

3. Oh, would that my wish had met me
And I did not see the dead of the year, O mother of Islam

4. And I did not see the dead that left me after them
Two hands, so I do not hope for a maimed life

5. And I swear, no coward with ankle chains
Is braver than Ja’ad, liberal and valiant
