You have overcome the people with the right that is yours

غلبتم الناس بالحق الذي لكم

1. You have overcome the people with the right that is yours
Over them, with a beating that is not an excuse

١. غَلَبتُمُ الناسَ بِالحَقِّ الَّذي لَكُمُ
عَلَيهِمُ وَبِضَربٍ غَيرِ تَعذيرِ

2. Indeed the Messenger, may Allah have mercy on him
For the people, while the people are in dark gloom

٢. إِنَّ الرَسولُ قَضاهُ اللَهُ رَحمَتَهُ
لِلناسِ وَالناسُ في ظَلماءَ دَيجورِ

3. I was amazed by the Azdi who came with him
Leading him to death when he was deluded

٣. لَقَد عَجِبتُ مِنَ الأَزدِيَّ جاءَ بِهِ
يَقودُهُ لِلمَنايا حَينُ مَغرورِ

4. Until the servants of Allah saw him in shackles
Bowed down while he was tied to a pig

٤. حَتّى رَآهُ عِبادُ اللَهِ في دَقَلٍ
مُنَكَّساً وَهوَ مَقرونٌ بِخِنزيرِ

5. The ships are less powerful when their planks
Are caulked in the water with tar

٥. لَلسُفنُ أَهوَنُ بَأساً إِذ تُقَوِّدُها
في الماءِ مَطلِيَّةَ الأَلواحِ بِالقيرِ

6. And they are standing with their oars in their hands
Girded naked in the skirmishes

٦. وَهُم قِيامٌ بِأَيديهِم مَجادِفُهُم
مُنَطَّقينَ عُراةً في الدَقاريرِ

7. Until they saw Abu Al-‘Assi’s branded
Racing like meteors with the setting sun

٧. حَتّى رَأَوا لِأَبي العاصي مُسَوَّمَةً
تَعدو كَراديسَ بِالشُمِّ المَغاويرِ

8. From the war of the clan of Abu Al-‘Assi when they rage
With every white like a worn-out cloak

٨. مِن حَربِ آلِ أَبي العاصي إِذا غَضِبوا
بِكُلِّ أَبيَضَ كَالمِخراقِ مَأثورِ

9. Be disappointed O Kulaib, for Allah has brought you down
To stations of humiliation and belittlement

٩. اِخسَأَ كُلَيبٌ فَإِنَّ اللَهَ أَنزَلَكُم
قِدماً مَنازِلَ إِذلالٍ وَتَصغيرِ
