1. Convey to Sulaima and her friends
That we have excelled as valiant warriors,

2. And we raided them at dawn
Quenching them with the purest wine.

3. Frowning, we greeted them at daybreak
With a cup, not a cup for revelry,

4. And the cunning foxes witnessed
Horses, on them the darkest armor,

5. They flee from us, fearing the encounter,
Striking, stabbing and excellent discipline.

6. We offered to their wives unveiled
With their anklets and belted robes.
