1. May God reward us well for Jamra, Ibn Nawfal’s daughter,
The reward due to one who keeps faith yet is called a liar,

2. Yesterday a horseman stationed where the beasts were tethered
Beside her tents was turned away, his request denied.

3. The slanderers asked her news of me, wanting to discredit
My name; throughout adversity I proved true to her.

4. She turned away as though the sun itself were raiment
To her; from beneath her veil a brow shone like the dawn.
