1. I found al-ʿĀmirī ibn al-Zubaʿrā—

    Jubayr—the finest refuge for a traveler by night.

  2. And I found you steadfast when the ordeal put you to the test,

    noble in lineage, sprung from choice, flourishing stock.

  3. And your fire-stick, when your descent is traced to Numayr,

    is noble—one of glory’s fire-sticks, blazing bright.

  4. By your life, the spears of Banū Numayr

    do not waver at the joints, nor are they short.
