1. Bear word to Nuʿaym and Awfā, if you meet them,

  2. My brother was no man of baseness, that it should diminish him

    when allotted fate closed in upon Ibn al-Ṣādir.

    guiding the cavalry bands so long as the dauntless have not perished.

  4. His knuckles stood bare; to his locks was bound

    the charge of leadership; in his high-bridged nose was proud loftiness.
