1. War has learned that I am its son
And that I am the one who teaches it valor

2. And that I attain glorious heights
Of supreme glory and honor

3. And that I don my coat of mail
When fury and rage intensify

4. And that I attack when they hesitate
With a blow more gracious than the bending of a laden branch

5. And I strike with the sword on the day of battle
Leading the necks of foes to the slaughter

6. Such is my equipment if only the valiant man
Could live beyond destruction and ruin

7. And the living one from 'Amir has learned
That we possess the highest and mightiest of statures

8. And that we are the first chargers on the day of battle
When the horsemen do not advance
