1. Your father is Rabīʿa al-Khayr, son of Qurṭ;

    and you are the man who does what he says.

  2. Lofty and proud, as though bending protectively over him

    were sons of kings, while the qayls encompassed him.

  3. Your enemies’ shoulders are turned away from you

    by massed hosts of Abū Bakr, encamped there—

  4. massed hosts among whom honor never dies,

    yet by whom the mighty man is brought low.

Sol 5.6
