AI-Buwayra perished and was deprived of
SaIIam and Saya and Ibn Akhpb.
Yet in their land they were weighty men
Like the ponderous rocks of l\Iayp.n. I
Though SaWim Abu /:Iakam is dead
His \veapons \vere not useless or rusty.
And both the tribes of Kiihin too, among them
Hawklike men, albeit kindly and generous.
We found their glory established on glory
vVhich time cannot obscure.

As though you were blind to shame.
You left your pot with nothing in it, .
The pot of a people \vorth mentioning is ever on the bOll!2
