1. I promised Sa'd with lightning response,
And the people of Sa'd acknowledged my guarantee,

2. You demanded the strings on the day of Quraqir,
But seekers of strings are not hesitant,

3. And when you came confidently with your hands,
The horseman of the morning raid poured upon you,

4. In front of steeds whose hoofs conceal their vigor,
As if they galloped with the gallop of Iban,

5. Either vulnerable to hateful adversity,
Led along, or vulnerable to wager,

6. Swords, sharp of edge, aim at their foreheads,
And spears strike them wherever they go,

7. So I saved them from those driving them off,
As the sheep of Iran was driven in the plain.
