1. The living knew of the valley’s demise, that when misfortune strikes, most prove their worth
Its udders withered from drought when snakes died there, no longer nursing its young

2. Women’s breasts came to you unadorned by bracelets or necklaces
With the camels they walked to the guests’ abodes hoping for charity

3. From generous hosts who oblige the asking neighbor, pouring freely when the jug is empty
You are of a family who inherited glory for helping others, and nobility of great repute
