1. جزاك الله خيراً من خليلٍ

    شفى من ذي تبولته الخليلا

    May God reward you well, as a friend

    Who healed his friend by taking vengeance on his foe.

  2. أزحت بها جوىً ودخيل نفسٍ

    تمخخ اعظمي زمناً طويلا

    With it you dispelled burning grief and a torment within the soul

    That had gnawed the marrow of my bones for so long.

  3. كسوتَ الجعفريَّ أبا جزيءٍ

    ولم تحفلِ به سيفاً صقيلا

    You clothed al-Jaʿfari, Abu Juzayʾ,

    In a polished sword, caring nothing for him.

  4. أبأت به زهير بني بغيضٍ

    وكنت لمثلها ولها حمولا

    Upon him you avenged Zuhayr of Banu Baghid,

    And you could shoulder its like, and this deed itself.

  5. كشفتَ له القناع وكنت ممن

    يجلي العار والأمر الجليلا

    You lifted the veil before him, and were among those

    Who dispel dishonor and grave troubles.
