1. No house excelled yours in glory, O Amer,
Except that your house was even more glorious.

2. It is the house of my son, Nafeel, who built it.
Kilab and Ka'b made it a pinnacle that will not waver.

3. I see that Nafeel, who will be his father
And uncle? He took his time on the day of reckoning.

4. Upon those who excelled, raising their palms
To every branch of glory, he was the tallest.

5. And he who is between the two immortals, his mother
Being Safiyya, his honor is too heavy to waver.

6. Her father and her son were the best of Amer
Like rain clouds to the perished when rain pours.

7. I see the impartial judge, Ailan in full
Faltering if he does not mention Nafeel.

8. The sons of crooked-nosed Qaram, their glory
Was not scattered in riding, but in free hunting.

9. When they adorned him with glory, his banners
Came, flooding when pages of glory fluttered.

10. He has smooth roads that guide
And they are the best of Qais, early and late.

11. The clan of Amer are the pillar of Qais and among them
Are fortresses for their protector when the roses bloom.
