1. O day that was not like any other day
Morning was like the day of Khalid the Preferred

2. For he returned Mahalhal and his tribe
Filling the valleys from the empty time

3. Proclaiming the death of one as if
They lost through him a generation of generations

4. The one who launched cavalry making them dusty
With bloodied flanks, not shoulders

5. And the one who said words straightforwardly
And followed words with deeds

6. And the sheltered one whom lightning bolts of
Heroes shook when heroes collided

7. Had they fought with him adorned they would have missed him
Verily men's motto is through struggle

8. And to return them in the chest of every wrongdoer
A stab as spears pierced resolutely

9. The stabber stabbing quickly then
A blow follows that trips the next

10. And the connected blow, the armor with the like
A blow that meets the helmet with joints

11. A lion disappeared, snatched from the valley
Who can pass through the valley of lions?

12. Forcing the terrified, his scent splits them
With strength and he drinks from the valley's pond

13. After you the saddle of every mare leaned
And its reins pulled hard

14. O pillar of the Arabs none after him
Filled the ages with pillars like him

15. O a deal for a swindled tribe
That shook right hands after him with left hands

16. So the pure tongues and antelope-like chests hastened
The brave hearts, the long, twisted necks

17. Drinker of the enemies' ages who ate them
Alas for the drinker of enemies, the glutton

18. Enough glory for a tribe delegated
To the protector of uncles and cousins

19. And a hand when shortened in the world
Lengthened for a nation through valor or grace

20. Playing with perils through perils, and
Meeting terrors with terrors
