May the sandy tracts above Banu Shubayl be watered
He watered the camels above Bani Shubail,
by the torrents of every rumbling, roaring cloud.
The battlefields of all who take a stand and flee.

There I have known nobility and forbearance,
I knew them to have generosity and forbearance,
whenever it was asked, 'Where are those of sound judgment?'
When asked, where are those of tolerance?
