They are a united clan, standing together lest an envious person hold back or its ignoble members turn toward an enemy.
ʿAshīrah is a kin-based community; ḥāsid an envious person and liʾām ignoble members. An yubṭiʾa and an yamīla evoke the risks of delay and leaning toward an adversary.
The poem closes by praising collective cohesion. This is Labīd’s historically situated tribal self-portrait, not an unconditional rule that group loyalty always supersedes justice.
