1. My brother, by Allah, is better than your brother
When a hero cannot find a place to stay

2. My brother, by Allah, is better than your brother
When a shepherd cannot find a pasture

3. My brother, by Allah, is better than your brother
When the guards show their servants

4. I killed your brother and the best of Saad
So if it is war, Hudhaifa, and if it is peace

5. Tha'labah ibn Saad turns back the war
By the grace of Allah, they pasture the camels

6. And Murrah's singing spared us
The grazing sheep leave it standing

7. And how can you say the patience of Banu Hajan
When they were aggrieved and found no place to stay

8. And were it not for the family of Murrah, you would have seen
Their temples braiding their hair
