1. Lo! Those you were above yesterday,
They who forbade your treacherous neighbors,

2. 'Uwayr and the like of 'Uwayr and his folk,
And Sa'd in the night of fluttering banners,

3. The raiment of Bani 'Awf is unsullied and pure,
And their faces at spectacles are ruddy,

4. They who restored the misguided people to their true clan,
And marched with them between Iraq and Najran,

5. They have now, by Allah, the noblest of them in conduct,
Been truest to covenant and best towards neighbors.
