1. We spurred our steeds until we overwhelmed them,
And by sheer force took control and settled in.

2. I drove back those cornered until they threw me
Among raging horses that then scattered about.

3. At dawn we were frowning, bitter was the cup
In regions of their homes that we overran.

4. And steeds we have, we train them for the charge
Whenever a raid appears and stirs alarm.

5. War mounts like hyenas, disheveled manes,
We carried off from their settlements in haste.

6. With youths from Omar striking the white
When horses in the strait shuddered in fear.

7. In a strait where stallions take flight,
When their lead mares fled in panic and alarm.

8. They strike the lead mare in the frenzy of battle
When their war flares up with snarls and growls.

9. Raising clamor after rest,
With snorting of an eager steed in alarm.

10. With steeds that attacked in a mighty troop
And inflicted losses, causing injury.
