Night came down, and l was alone
Distantly from home, nothing I had to eat
Two thieves came out wanting steal my horse
One of them is short the other is taller than me
I heard a voice as if I was dreamed
It comes closely to my ear as if an elf
They said welcome man and sat for a while
Being strangers coming out of desert
They have some breads and a bit of dates
One of them glanced me said; "my uncle"
"Your father I know and he is my relative"
The other being enemy got masked his face
He never told his name but I suspect on him
He is a horseman like me but he forget
Once we traveled together three years ago
I pulled his veil to see that he had a face-scar
Indeed he is a fellow for years a go
Expressed his sorrow he said that he is miserable
He lost his three sons in an Arabian tribe raid
Now he needs me assisting him to get revenge
The tribe I know and some of them are my cousins
I don't know how to answer in this unexpected event
But I argued with him to give me a week of thought
I felt that I am in debt many times for his favour
I took my horse rein and pushing it forward
Soon I reached my tribe I gathered them
Telling them the story, they soon leap to help
But said the peace is better thus we shall intend
Fifty equestrians went on beseeching the mission
Three days of a going march they reached those
As fast a council is made and they warmly negotiate
A big banquet was made and the case was settled
And the blood money as soon was paid
Distantly from home, nothing I had to eat
Two thieves came out wanting steal my horse
One of them is short the other is taller than me
I heard a voice as if I was dreamed
It comes closely to my ear as if an elf
They said welcome man and sat for a while
Being strangers coming out of desert
They have some breads and a bit of dates
One of them glanced me said; "my uncle"
"Your father I know and he is my relative"
