1. The son of Abd charged into battle
And you swore to listen, you liars

2. That he would not flee or tire, so two lions clashed
Both striking out

3. Today my vigilance prevents my flight
Resolute, with no weakness of mind

4. Shall I charge the horsemen like this?
Tell my comrades about me and them

5. So I went seeking combat with angry flashing swords
Along with the short swords in the scabbards

6. I went seeking combat, swords bared,
Angry like the color of salt in scabbards

7. The son of Abd realized when he saw the bare blades
That this was no joking matter

8. Umair proved when he drew his polished sword
Its steel gleaming and rewarding my thrusts

9. I wanted Omar when he raged with his Indian blade
Polished steel, tested and slaughtering

10. So I repelled him when I left him lying prone
Like a log between blows and millstones

11. And I refused his clothes though had I
Been dripping with sweat, I'd have wanted clothes

12. Abd worshipped rocks in his foolishness
While I worshipped the Lord of Muhammad rightly

13. Think not that God would abandon His religion
And His prophet, O all you factions
