1. Allah has a sun whose dawn was spears
Darkness lined my eyelids with its light

2. The flints sparked with a fire-stick so I chose
The barren plain after a long time

3. Shuwwa spent the night piercing the wind that
In the evening Shalil's smoke pulled it here and there

4. As if in the air from it there was a banner
Red fluttering or a cowardly heart

5. I met it from the face of a ruddy dark night
So I saw how the two moons opposed

6. In the shadow of the darkness that fell my eyes raced with it
That were given to the ear of my steed

7. By Allah a chief describing noble riders
And delight to your eye in the confusion of my tongue

8. They descended in the lands of wild beasts and time
Did not decrease their longing for homelands

9. Having passionate gestures with embers
That carried the bellows and eyelids

10. Allah made its top fire and its bottom
Embers like the ingots of blacksmiths

11. Broiling the plump ones on the shores of its intensity
Roasting the seekers like cooked meat

12. From every poured generosity he wraps
In his right hand the flames of Yaman

13. And when the son of Awa took shelter he stretched
His softness so the son of Haniyy caressed him

14. Using them as pillows the bosses of their coats of mail
Indeed coats of mail are the pillows of the brave

15. They compete in talk of every frightening battle
They had with every virgin its heat and helplessness

16. They felled the giants in deadly fights with spears
And the darkness's adorers in the valleys

17. Of every beast its shadow raced it
Until the racing of glances overtook it

18. Prey, when they witnessed hunting wished for hunting
And beauty was bound to kindness through it

19. The life of every youth in wars
Is passionate for the death of peers

20. In the back of every horse you'd think
It was lightning held back by the tug of reins

21. And when the battle intensified and the horsemen
Avoided its blasts with horsemen

22. And the wounded pulled his reins so it was as if
Coats of brocade had been stripped off him

23. And over the skulls in the palms swords
So their saddlebags from the blows took flight

24. They straightened the coats of mail with their spear shafts so it was as if
They had poured smooth water over armor

25. And they saw that from the waters dividing strokes
Whose strokes were created from fire
