1. For whom are the abodes in the gardens of the Sultans
With the two inscriptions by the side of the idols

2. The winds have played with it and changed
After the companion, the places of the beasts

3. So it seems that the relics left from its symbols
Are lines drawn by the right hand

4. A house for a bride, when it shows you dilapidated
Sweet tasting and bright colored

5. A waist that its coldness and whiteness are compared
To ice or the bright moons

6. And it tastes like a mountainous mixed wine
With musk, camphor, and basil

7. And honey whitened by the water of cool roses
For the feeble breathers

8. And it seduces polished, with lazy eyes
And necklaced like the necks of addicted ones

9. It made necklaces for it, strung
With beads, ruby, and coral

10. And Ja’far and the clan of Abi Bakr and the clan of Al-Hassan
Have mingled around it, captives sitting

11. Above them the banners of the White Tribe flutter
Like angry hissing serpents

12. And Al-Ashtar the Kindi, when he obtained for us
From Hadramout, free of males

13. He led the steeds angrily toward it
With bellies close to the ground

14. Until when he traveled and bent toward us
From Hadramout to the rod of Yemen

15. He started his journey, and our lands had been
Surrounding it, like an orchard fence

16. Horses tied to their feed
Being milked in front of the enclosure

17. And their women hastened with all generosity
Plump, hefty, and with bodies

18. So he threw them to elderly lords
And to the handsomest of youths

19. Until when begging ceased, and the slain
Fell like grapes from the loaded vines

20. They rushed the rest and ransomed themselves from our might
By fleeing into the thickets and ravines

21. And they recovered after the fighting, but they
Were creeping like crawling worms

22. So ninety of their noblemen were caught
Prisoners, fettered at the wrists

23. The chief of Kindah was humiliated among us
Without loss or disgrace

24. And Qadisiyah where Rustum
Fought against us, as we fiercely shook like demons

25. Striking with every unsheathed white sword
And stabbing the joints of elbows

26. And Rabee marched on with the troops gloriously
Intending jihad and obedience to the Merciful

27. Until he conquered the villages of the Sawad, Persia,
The plains, and the mountains from Mukran
