1. He came to me, yet I did not fear what he brought with him
A light-footed messenger, between Salma's family, silk and one holding a spear

2. They both disappoint me every day with spoils
And I would have destroyed them if that were beneficial

3. And I followed the last of them on the path of worries
As it is said, a star that has set, refusing

4. And the best thing I can give you is an evil
Terrifying, from which swords blaze

5. So I do not give you darkness over me
Nor is truth known to you that I prevent

6. And I still host the guest as my father commanded
And my father's neighbor, athirst and hungry

7. So say to Tihan son of Amera, "Do you resist
An ignoble man or are you disputing?"

8. And if Tihan son of Bilj had obeyed me
I would have guided him, affairs have beginnings

9. And if he is accused of me, then I
Am a brother of war, no coward or lazy one

10. Rather, Tihan son of Aqira accused him
He has a sin from his matter and consequences
