1. The enemy flees in fear from your resolute might,
And throughout time, those who dread your power flee in panic.

2. I'm amazed by those who think slight walls protect them from you-
Your arrows bring blessings, and destiny assists them.

3. He who builds a refuge, thinking it will block
The winds of victory - it is but a ramshackle hut.

4. No son of sorrow drank the wine of disgrace
In utter incapacity, shamefully clapping, before you.

5. A brute thought it a fortress, but you visited it
With a quaking, death-dealing thunderbolt.

6. Around you are swords of fortune, drawn
Above you are banners of triumph, fluttering.

7. With your white, night-darkened armor, you are like
A shooting star glinting in the blackness of night.

8. With your ebony, dawn-brightened mail, you are like
A raven flying toward al-Karīhah at daybreak.

9. With horses that march into the fray with their chests
Sliding on the rugged slopes when you make them climb.
