1. O long-lived one, aged as the vultures—how long

    will you remain, though you are the dead among the living?

  2. Tell, without reserve, the tale of Jadhima:

    what was his story with al-Zabbāʾ?

  3. And tell of al-Basūs and the bygone events of her wars;

    tell—for you are present amid the fray.

Sol 5.6
