1. Ayas, their fortress and pillar, spoke
When they were settled in the armies of Ikrit the commander

2. You see him as a grave danger risen among its chiefs
Surrounded by the elite of hunters as supporters

3. And how often before has a noble guest stayed with us
And Baali's who welcomes guests generously manor

4. And here they all are, ask and I will tell you about them
The great elders among them stand before you

5. But I do not see my two dear brothers
They are the veil of chastity, if the racecourse is breached

6. And Pholcos, vanquisher of all warriors
Did they not march with our troops or

7. Did they seclude themselves on the ship, fearing dishonor
Which would taint me if their honor was breached

8. Nor have I known on this earth in any homeland
That embraced them, while life is fleeting
