1. We have been blamed for what seemed good
To Saad bin Zaid and Amr of Tamim

2. And the shame of Al-Mushtari the buyer is on us
And he is an uncle to us, not kind

3. They will not cease, for long as time endures
To blame the Koraichite, though rightfully esteemed

4. Yet we are a tribe who bear the lance
As a heritage from lord and vassal held supreme

5. Nor do we shrink from blame in battle's brunt
Nor moan o'er it like moaning of the lorn and dream
