1. By my life! The water of Athmad the son of Khansa
Is armed, her despicable soil.

2. It is lighter for the devout old man to bear
And easier than my war when its severity intensifies.

3. Have I healed it in a shelter I dug around it -
Tamim are its surroundings and with me is its book.

4. For us is the pasture of adh-Dhimraan, O clan of Malik!
And the rugged path of Sulamiyy is for us and its precipices.
