1. I praised Yazid son of Abd al-Madan
So honor him, for he is a man worthy of praise

2. When praise adorns a man of noble company
Indeed, Yazid beautifies praise

3. I singled him out among his companions
So I lit my fires when he sparked the flame

4. He defended the honor of women
While another in his place would have disgraced them

5. He freed both men and each man
When God reforms a time, it is reformed

6. And I said to him after freeing the women
And releasing the men and restoring propriety

7. Grant me some horsemen from the tribe of Amir
And honor me with his breeze when it blows

8. I still recognize his face
With my continual asking and his joyful presence

9. I saw Abu Nadhar in pitched battle
In the position of dawn when it becomes clear

10. When they collide with him they are not collided with
And if they charge him, he is a butting ram

11. If people gather he does not humiliate them
And if weighed against any, he prevails

12. Such is their young man, and the one of their superiority
Even if a snarling slanderer snarls
