1. Did you not see me grant protection to the sons of Fuqaym,

    Where protection had grown costly for Mudar,

  2. At ʿĀjinat al-Raḥūb, so they did not depart,

    While others announced their departure from there and set out?

  3. When the Asadite settles without a protector,

    He cannot fight back, even if he is wronged.

  4. Asad charges toward the heights, but is held back

    By its disgraces and its short-reaching hands.

  5. And you will never find the Asadite except

    Submitting to what the donkey submits to.

  6. And I bear witness that it is Asad son of Nahd,

    And Nizar did not give birth to the sons of Asad.

Sol 6.1
