1. Do you know a symbol between uncertainties? Like a number
Written to one with scrolls as if drawn with a pen

2. Its chastity was blown away by summer winds afterwards
And the valleys of Gemini with mud and blood

3. The abode that pitched its tents and became desolate
And I was, when the rope was loose from the tent peg

4. Terrified, to the vicinity of a ruin as if it
With its relatives, cooing when its skin is bathed

5. Shall I convey this disregarder that he
Spoke words awake or was it a dream?

6. If you ask people about me, I am
The son of Abi Sulma, despite him who presumes

7. I am the son of him who lived ninety pilgrimages
Yet never failed a day out of spite or blame

8. The noble honored him in every gathering
Of prestige, and if you doubt me, then ask the nations

9. Poems of his reached non-Arabs and horizons
Remaining like Quranic revelation in solid stone

10. I am the son of him who did not humiliate me in his life
Nor did I humiliate him until he disappeared into the grave

11. He was given wealth and ambition until he died
And left me glory and nobility when he bid farewell

12. He would defend when misfortunes descended
From fate upon his horses even if their troughs crumbled

13. I speak similitudes to what a scholar said
With them, and he who emulates his father is not unjust

14. I resembled him from between those who stepped on pebbles
No resemblance of an uncle or cousin pulled me away

15. When I desire, I restrain the unruly when
The ends of his beard bristle with the harshest Arabic

16. You vilified me a dear and noble lineage and people
Who built glory for me in a splendid towering peak

17. They are my origin wherever I was and I
Am from the refined, noble Muzaynah

18. They are the ones who struck you when you deviated
From the right path with their swords until you straightened upon the straight

19. And a lowly gang from them led you astray
So you have no ties or foothold among them

20. They are the ones who prevented the sorrow of Hejaz and its plains
Long ago, and they are the ones who prevented your father from the sanctuary

21. They are lions in valor and the army in villages
And they are true to their word when binding a pact with a neighbor

22. So how many noble, generous men are among them
And those who do good, whether they desire or intend

23. When will Aus and Othman cease coming to me
With sparks of war, all of them eminent pillars?
