1. The sons of Najjar knew well that I
Defend the clan with my sharp sword.

2. And I have left in my arrows a vengeance
Until the day of reckoning and strife.

3. So do not boast, for long ago
Your like were vanquished by Ham's clan.

4. You are not of Qusaia's noble line,
Nor of lofty Zuhra's pride when contending.

5. Nor are you of Amr's sons, nor a scion
Of honored Makhzum's noble lineage.

6. So cease your railing against Qusaia's sons,
For you have tried the mettle of Haram's sons.
