1. A ransom for the clan of Sa'd son of Dhubyan my aunt
When the fright startles the submissive camels

2. They killed patiently Shuraih son of Khalid
And lamented for Bistam in long mourning dresses

3. And they wrapped on the day of ash-Shaqq his head
Soft sides no embroidered gown

4. So when it came upon as-Sahba' their place with it
It called for woe and hastened to be veiled
