1. When I saw the matter was serious indeed,
And found no way to avoid what I must do,

2. I donned the skin of a fierce tiger in its greed,
And the hide of a wild rhino leading the crew.

3. I gathered the fiercest of all Arab breeds,
An army to smite the cruel and subdue,

4. To shake the pillars of mountains as it proceeds,
Tamim were slaves serving our father true,

5. Dark warriors with curled and tangled hair,
While we were soldiers for the Prophet too,

6. On the day of Buzaakha we met them there,
And Badr was promised me as was Ohad too,

7. Tayy wrapped me in a coat of mail I wear,
Until I charged and defeated the slave anew.
