1. Do not deny a people whose might has empowered you
Abu Alqam though unbelief gleams on his sword

2. Abu Khubth treat the Kinanah kindly for they
Are your allies though an affair confounds you

3. The Bani Nadir pelt stones at you from behind
If only in them were loyalty and truth

4. They give you abundant wealth but you have not found
Any semblance of their kingdom were you to be truthful

5. When they ride out, dissension against you rages
And the land quakes from the clamor of tongues
