1. The mountains diminished before him, and the last remnants were annihilated.
With what spears of yours will you acquire glory,

2. When you see that my sea has raging waves?
You see its billows like mountains of luban,

3. And the surging crests when they fill the expanse.
When its sprays surge in the wings of night,

4. You would think there were burning coals upon it.
With mountains around it, it has shadows

5. That have reached the morning draught with the gerboa.
So you are in vilifying the clan of Numayr

6. Like the people of Hell when they found the torment.
They hoped that they would find rest from its heat,

7. Yet boiling pitch had become their drink.
If you live in prosperity and good fortune,

8. Neither your father nor forefathers ever prospered or had good fortune.
You have not inherited the knights of Numayr,

9. Nor Kab nor inherited Kilab.
Rather, you have inherited the evil and worthless estates

10. Of the clan of Kulaib.
Whoever chooses Hawazin, then chooses Numayr,

11. Chooses a lineage of stupidity and shame.
And he who holds back their sprays by the forelocks

12. Are the best horsemen, known to be deadly.
They are the ones who raided the encampments and ransacked

13. On the day of Madhij, the striking of calamity.
Yet you have left the clan of Kulaib

14. To every contender, an easy target.
Kulaib is a servant, evil and base;

15. None but the most debauched would vilify with it.
You think that when you dispraise with Kulaib,

16. All people are angry at them.
