1. Why not conclude a pact with the son of Wahf, for he
Will provide you on the day of crisis with sure mounts;

2. And he turned upon you the wives of your women
On the plain of Dhi Qar, a piercing calamity;

3. So he saved them from blows and stabs of the spears
With hands aided by the heroes of the battalion who wounded;

4. And every long-armed one as though he were
A noble steed who takes the people unawares with his spearpoint.
