1. O my sons Khawilid, what evil have you committed,
If one who seeks the impossible is you,

2. Do you call for fighting Muhammad?
Why not call for other than fighting?

3. Qays was not ignorant in advice,
But he was more knowledgeable of right and determined.

4. He warns you not to do so, fearing it
Would run with its sides flowing blood.

5. The Prophet has sent the army under his banner,
A hero, when warriors retreat he advances.

6. He is that servant of God among his companions,
Walking to Al-Qatan to fulfill a decided decree.

7. So prepare, my sons Khawilid, and gather
Your troop for war, and do not regret.

8. Go O guide of the army, in its blessings,
And take the most upright path to Fayd.

9. It is the destination, he wants no other,
As a place for the ships and appointed location.

10. O you who connects the friendship in the mornings,
Go on your way if you want the booty.

11. The nobles have made you their guide, they refused
Except generosity, never has there been more noble.

12. They have embraced the religion of sacrifice, so they have
Nothing with the Guardian that is denounced or concealed.

13. Where are the men? Is there no gallant youth,
Who throws his soul against the hostile army?

14. Where are the men? Did they leave their homes?
Or have they become full of beds, sleepy?

15. O my sons Khawilid, unsheathe your two swords
Beware the enemy and advance, do not refrain.

16. O my sons Khawilid where is what you prepared
For war, to take the marked banner?

17. You prepared the humiliating cowardice to make peace,
So you are destroyed, and likewise are those blind.

18. You surrendered the loot and plunder, and it
Is more honorable and greater than you.

19. The raiders have returned honored, they did not encounter
A plot to repel, nor did they find a criminal.

20. God has purified them and protected their swords.
Glorified is He who has done good and favored.

21. They are His party, no party is below them,
Even if He had taken the stars as a ladder.
