Sol 5.6

  1. I was told that a petty camel-herder is reviling me—

    and God turns peoples away from right guidance.

  2. For when you drive poetry’s rhymes onward,

    you are like one seeking game in the lion’s lair.

  3. And Qudaʿa is not far from coming to my aid

    when the people’s champions vie for eminence in a dense throng.

  4. Our brothers, Himyar, build perfection for us;

    and praise is built only upon pillars.

  5. Judham, our brothers nearest in kin, know full well

    that their brother is neither driven by need nor moved by anger.

  6. Tayy is a far-off clan; the point where our lineages meet

    lies at the farthest reaches of the lands, and their chiefs trace back to Adad.
