1. Unfurl whatever you wish, O dark nights,
For Abu al-Tayyib does not fear misfortunes.

2. If I hold back from battle, then I am
A criminal who refrains from noble deeds.

3. My goal is to meet death quickly,
Either in the field of knowledge or the arena of struggle.

4. So wish me well, O mother of Abd,
As he is led to the fair maidens and turns away haughtily.
