1. How excellent is the heritage a man leaves his people,
Umayr son of Umar and his fine steed!

2. His sons, the sons of Gharra, whom he raised
To the abode of Sa'd of lofty reputation and everlasting glory,

3. He nurtured them to the bosoms of Sa'd's eagles
And the people of Nuha, men of renown and glory.

4. Umayr their father, man of great deeds, their grandfather
Dhubay'a, smiter of skulls and oppressors,

5. They are the exalted standard of the clan of Wail
And its knights in the closely pressed battle.

6. Umayr your father - so boast of his deeds
When men recount the most generous souls,

7. The noble slave-girl built for them
Monuments of lasting glory on firm foundations.
