1. By Allah, my elder will not go in vain
Until I slay Malik and his followers

2. The killers of the king in succession
A Ma’addite noble in descent and feats

3. Oh, the anguish of Hind when her protectors erred
We brought the caravans with bounty

4. Bearing us along with the docile camels
With swift, sturdy she-camels flecked with pebbles

5. The latter ones rouse the early starters
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
