1. When the enemy horses were unleashed, my worries were nothing but victory and nearing
For I and those who swim on the day of assembly

2. And what the Messenger recites from the Book
Indeed I have loved what Thaqif met

3. Next to the cliff yesterday of torment
They are the head of the enemy from the people of Najd

4. So killing them is sweeter than drink
We defeated the army, the army of Bani Qasiy

5. And their kneeling camels with Bani Riyab
And a Kalbite band they had abandoned

6. With robes that were soiled with dust
And had we met the army of Bani Kilab

7. Their women would stand up keening
We raced the horses among them between Busa

8. To the meadows they descend with plunder
With Lajab the Messenger of God among them

9. His battalion exposing itself to strikes
