1. Do you forget the day of departure and entering,
And our stance at the ruins that decay?

2. And she said, "You've become gaunt and grey after me,
By the right of greyness after you and leanness."

3. As if the wind rustled in glass,
With the water of spouts in a shady pavement.

4. Your friend says to you, O Abu Firas,
May God shame Al-Farazdaq from his friend.

5. You left Iraq while you were filth,
Wearing the garb of tyrants in the shadows.

6. And the drink of Hadd is not hidden from you,
Nor the fox of the absent wasteland.

7. If he enters the city, then stone him,
And do not let him near the Prophet's grave.

8. Al-Farazdaq knew that Taym
Gets drunk when they drink and urinate.

9. We have the ancestors, O son of Taym,
If the path narrows.

10. And I take pride in the perfect ones of Tamim,
While you take pride in the vile and little.

11. So you will not be able, O son of begging Taym,
To withstand the onslaught of warriors.

12. As if Taym were castrated among the clans of Tamim,
A eunuch among virile men.

13. I censure Taym, the sons of Tamim
Wore on them my camel load.

14. And I have pelted you from Tamim
With a burden you cannot withstand, O heavy one.

15. I am done with the bows, and Taym is bitten,
A steed of battle, not one who lingers.

16. And I advised the clan of 'Adiyy
To wash their clothes and the blood of the slain.

17. You have brought the horsemen of Taym, who returned
With the zeal of racers and the noble.

18. The last riders, the daughters of Taym, returned them
To the riders, men without deviation.

19. We saved Uyaynah and Ibn Shamkh
When they passed by them in a field.

20. They saw the hidden behinds of the daughters of Taym
Bared from dresses cast off.

21. My seas have drowned the origin of Taym,
For they drowned in the torrent's surge.

22. You have paired the most wicked, your father Taym,
To a camel at its utmost burden.

23. With Zayd Manat he crushes every bone,
His camels and more than the kneeling ones.

24. He stomped the necks of Taym,
Heavy of step, of noble descent.

25. You have met for us the protectors, steadfast,
And a raid that hurls itself at you after a raid.

26. As if Taym, when boasting of Sa'd,
The slave girls of the tribe boast of pregnancies.

27. You see the Taymi crawling like a locust
To a Taymi woman, like a twisted staff.

28. If she grins at him, he says without shame,
"You have grinned without beauty or grace!"

29. Saffron stains the bride of Taym
And she walks the walk of a loping hyena.

30. The meddlers say the bride of Taym
Roasted the mother of the two loves and the head of an elephant.

31. If she were washed with my pitcher of Dujayl,
She would say, "I am not satiated from washing."

32. When she frowns at him
With a frown in a grimacing eye.
