1. Among us is he who people do not speak in his presence,
Yet he is the most courteous and just.

2. You see them sitting around him with their eyes
Downcast, their gazes unmoving.

3. The House of Allah is ours and our idols,
And there is a house on top of Mount Elijah.

4. For us wherever the horizons of the earth meet
Is the countless pebbles and the palace of the archer.

5. When people descend from Mina
On the evening of the day of sacrifice from where they were acquainted,

6. You see people walking behind us
And if we gesture to the people, they stop.

7. Thousands of coats of mail and spears
And horses like locusts swarming.

8. And if they betray us one day, we strike their necks
For the religion until the compliant returns.

9. For you, as you strive to reach our abode
You are truly the one concerned, O Jarir.

10. Do you seek from the stars and above them
With lightning and a caravan whose back is humped?

11. Jarir refused the company of wicked, disgraced men
And a despicable reputation reserved for the shameless.

12. When Darim calls me to the utmost limit,
You race towards it like one stumbling blindly.

13. Both of us have a people who are loyal to us
By their accounts until the laggard sees.

14. For a period until he abandons between them
And the sting grieves the one who is heaping.

15. I have turned war towards you, I when I become intimate
Am a fellow warrior, the spear on the nape a cloak.

16. You cry over Saad while Saad is an abode
In Yabreen, among them the one who adds and weakens.
