1. Is not my father al-Ṣalt, progenitor of my house—

    radiant to every pureborn noble among Banū al-Naḍr?

  2. We donned robes of striped ʿaṣb-cloth, till the warp interwove

    us with them—and the waist-girt Hadrami robe as well.

  3. If ever we severed a bond of kinship with Quraysh,

    on what baldric would you bear the sword, Maysara?

  4. I refused what you demanded of me and repudiated it;

    even had you demanded it before me, Qabīṣa would have refused.

  5. So if you are not of Banū al-Naḍr, then leave

    a green arāk tree at the tails of the mountain passes.
