1. I will surely direct my praise to Hudhayfah
For the left-handed knight and horseman of the rugged lands

2. Shelter for the weak when the winds blow
Massive builder of the lofty, unified tribe

3. One who never ceases to fell every difficulty
Like abundant, relentless rain

4. Of expansive dignity and honor, a dwelling
Shelter for every freed servant and wanderer

5. He gave drink to the valleys from your stroke, O Ibn Mikdam
From the direction of each rumbling, striking cloud

6. Convey to the Bani Bakr and distinguish the knights
They donned blame before any wraps

7. You surrendered, wary of the criticizer, your brother
Between al-Kudayd and the sparse hillsides

8. Until he fell, his joints dislocated
For the cheek between the cutlasses and precipices

9. Praise be to the house of ‘Ali - they
Did not avenge ‘Auf and the living lightly-armed
