Sol 5.6

  1. Have you not seen that treachery, baseness, and shameless vice

    have built themselves a dwelling from al-Maʿīn as far as Aden—

  2. Gaza, then al-Mart, then al-Khabt, then al-Munā—

    to the house of Zammārāʾ, an ancient patrimony upon patrimony?

  3. So I said, unable to restrain myself: “Is ʿĀmir ibn ʿĀmir

    to be killed for a scion of Banū al-ʿAnqāʾ—for a slave?

  4. My head has indeed gone gray—or is close to graying—

    while neither Saʿd ibn Zarr nor Hind has ever become free.”
