1. I was satisfied with the rule of Qais's council,
And I did not feel cheated when I appointed my uncle.

2. He has a hand that spills blood, and a hand
Whose generosity rivals the pouring rain of the north.

3. And we are the rulers in every matter,
Since ancient times we were endowed with the glory of nobility.

4. As long as we exist, it will not cease in us
The one with the radiant face, white like the crescent moon.

5. Do not, O negligent one, increase in foolishness,
The case of Majid is firmly established.
