1. The dwelling was stronger yet disabled by the barrenness of Al-Thamad
So a quarter from you and from your pasture is the support

2. The plateau became more desolate than those who used to inhabit it
The plateau of Al-Wirag that did not yield any frozen water for it

3. The one I was accustomed to stay there for long times
The hill where the plain and knots meet

4. They abandoned the dwellings of Najd and its inhabitants
So I did not know where they headed

5. But there were disagreements between me and them
And for the estranged, the crow of separation and the ostrich are friends

6. They departed with their caravan until their tracks faded
And with the mixed company of neighbors dispersed

7. And they left behind scattered remnants for you
Around it there is no trace of them, no scent and no track

8. Except the groves and the mounds of Dimaan
Upon its slopes ruins and date palms

9. So stop wherever you wish on a trace
Of what can be detected, it will be detected

10. And from the innocence of two quarters and from Ataan
Monkeys and wild cats roam between them

11. And a playground for neighboring settlements bite them
And every frequented resort is bitten

12. They built them while the parted has singing camel riders
With necklaces and twined armlets like twisted fibers

13. Spotted she camels with bridles and hairy she camels with girths
Whose fodder is Rwad that grows in Maha

14. Slender smooth-bodied Jirdahal she camels that can
Give life and kill whoever she promises

15. So whoever she brought benefit to cannot win
Nor can whoever she killed have a mind or leader

16. She corrupted an original lineage with distorted sand grouses
Like palaces that have termites eating them

17. Until they took a morning bath in the family of Qarqara
As drink for them and for the Eternal they sought refuge with

18. So count them and no command can deter them
When it comes to pleasures and wandered desires

19. And say to one seeking refuge in the royal abode
Words that neither deceit nor gossip can turn away from

20. What do you see my heir in a man
That his heart has embedded in it the causes of his passion

21. He stayed in a country until he wept out of boredom
From some of it and some of it wept for him

22. If a hardship comes to him tomorrow or the day after
In the morning the news and coolness will come to him

23. And riding animals were prepared for you one day
That were not born or give birth

24. You shall embark on them a path with no trace
On a flat plain with no grief or renew

25. Their course is not in the sky nor the earth
They do not stand still or walk or move

26. They do not taste food as long as they live nor
Do they drink water while the thoroughbreds are the flowers

27. Stout fully caparisoned nimble she camels
That no diseases tired them at nights

28. Crisis turns in their tails and through them
The pace steadies if they bolt so they are reined

29. Of every she camel prompting the travel
Fear gathered jellybeans that datura ripped off

30. You will think they are seven, but when you start counting them
They are like fruits perfectly fitted in your palm

31. The fiddle, the tambourine, the flute play them
And poverty, drought, planks and poles too

32. So they have a flair and have a guide in their course
Like a cloud among its kinsfolk is foam

33. On a later notice after my good fate guided
They came complimenting after they were cautious

34. So it startled out camels unmatched by any
If you stand they stand if you say sit they sit

35. So your throne remained above the water holding it
A turbulent sea with surging waves and foam

36. The wind blows hard and the water pours forth
While you seek refuge and the travel makes one naked

37. To your father commander of the faithful we
Have a purpose and openness that has no ruse

38. And may God reform through the Mahdi our corruption
And heal their chests after denial had festered

39. As the swelling of the spleen is healed with violet oil
Until they recovered and the habits of zeal were said to return them

40. And he did not spare anyone who had tyrannized and wronged
Except that he took them in his grip so they were harvested

41. But there was not for the groups of polytheists by him
A horde or scattered bands

42. He closed the gaps with God's steadfast horses
And in the horses and their horsemen is justification

43. Then you returned and did not stay in any valley
Except you were just, no injustice and no deviation

44. This is for your prosperity and man boasts
And boasting in it and in his days is stupidity

45. If the tribes boast in their countries
And all of them vie in the position of ancestors

46. Surely boasting is to whoever built for you
A glory that Mount Uhud falls short of its pillars

47. In the area of Mecca are relics for your ancestors
That were built by Ma'ad's grandfather Odod

48. God had always been and nothing had existed so He originated it
And none but you of its inhabitants are its pillars

49. Except the abodes around it whose pegs were planted
If the peg told of its neighbors

50. Abodes perish and whoever inhabits them perishes
And your abodes and the veils of your abodes are renewers

51. And the house of your paternal uncle Hujr in the region of Yemen
A house in which honor and mastery were complete

52. And the house of Amr and structure of the house of Thi Yazin
And Thi Al-Kila' and he to whom soldiers yield

53. And Tubba' and the iron garments he has
In times iron is spun in its times hides

54. So boast there of people of generosity
That if God made eternity for people of heights they would be

55. Do you see a non-Arab among people or an Arab
Except that for your paternal uncle among them is a bounty and hand

56. If they reward you with gratitude then loyalty to it
And if you are denied then the precedent of denial preceded them

57. So why is that and from where is it permissible for them
While all of them to you my honored son are loyal

58. And you my master of Islam and its master
And for every doctrine among its people is a pillar

59. If they compete with you in glory you were more glorious
And you are the glorious helper, honest and loyal

60. Or if they reconciled with you then the reconciliation that pleased you
Or fought you so the lion is in your attire

61. Not like a lion crouching in the thickets
Above his shoulders the hyrax and its burrows he protects

62. He protects the cubs and protects the lairs of his prowess
And burning charcoal has inflamed his trunk

63. A day with more daring, no by God, than you when
The brave sons of war flared up in its flames

64. Under the platter their skulls like monkeys
Upon it the eggs blaze

65. In every narrow fight that squeezes
The breast of the brave when blindness blankets him

66. While the firewood like the old woman of fire has cooled
Bald, white-haired, with its knots tied

67. Nothing remains in her mouth to gnaw on
Except the tongue and the little toe, rotten and degraded

68. She labored when she saw a group
Bearing arms against a people for them is number

69. And Al Mushrafiyah, its tents are folded
From the veils, and the spear tips aim straight

70. If only the Mahdi of his nation would choose for us
About what he sees and the thick of war confuse

71. Which of the three are you in it when they betrayed
The covenant of God and the pact which they covenanted

72. A stalwart hero in it who ignites it
With those who fight until the fuel grows

73. Or a righteous one with cool water that extinguishes it
Until his intense coldness diminishes it

74. Or a mercy that descended from his Lord to them
What he continued to sustain them after exhaustion

75. He brings life to the countries after their death
And light comes out from it while the earth is buried

76. I wish I knew while the heat of summer moves
On two plains, malignant and regressing

77. What is with Moses and who is called to his allegiance
As if there is in his clothes a hidden quince

78. The days do not show in the season of his allegiance
To the councils except that he shudders

79. And whoever turns to an evident matter of state
Rheum that its remedies bring relief yet it returns

80. Children of Abu Ja'far oh best carried
On the camels' litters, noble and generous

81. What has distracted you from one turning to you
For an allegiance that the One Eternal did not permit

82. By God guide yourselves from people of a kingdom
That if it had supporters in earth they would unite

83. Until it came to you peacefully while pure
With pardon that in it thunder applauds

84. Take the caliphate and fill the eye of your envier
With pus that the blind and bleary eyed will gouge out

85. How many enviers of you hope for your caliphate
That if realized the jealous eye would pick out

86. It has awakened upon you unwary eyes
When the sentinels and observation have slumbered

87. Why is that and he has no equipment for battle
Neither the mustering nor if he dies will he be missed

88. He has come and gone while hopes are unrealized
Like counterfeit coins when scrutinized

89. I am innocent to you of his guardianship
As the francolin is innocent of its hunter

90. And God will declare innocent whoever does not love you
On judgement day when intercession will not benefit

91. Yet I say about this to your riser
Words assisted by success and right guidance

92. My master the Mahdi your ownership
None should share its sweetness with you

93. If one day you seek a man for it
To protect your men if absent and if present

94. Then listen carefully when death flutters from a man
In whose counsel there is no artifice and no trouble

95. You call to your son Moses while he is wise in
His age and the soldiers have favored him

96. He is righteous to his father
And righteousness kindness and affection stem from

97. He is the son of she who if you are absent, you say to her
My Khayzuran, may abundant rainwater quench your thirst

98. You have not been absent in lands impermissible to you
Except that your heart and liver call you to it

99. Moses and Moses which king
After the pillar of religion can rely on

100. The partner of your soul resides in a body from you
As long as the soul and body are sustained

101. He would have not been without you, the Mahdi of his nation
Rightfully with all perfect praise monopolizing

102. Delegate to him my commander of the faithful and do not
With that look forward to a tomorrow that will fool you

103. The nights and days are spiteful
And man perishes with no eternity

104. This is my saying to you and God guides you
And God my Lord the One Eternal knows

105. That I have been loyal to you with my ancestral bounty
And does a hand offer generosity except with what it finds
