1. Shall I not tell Usayd where they marched and turned,
Of what they met from us, hordes of warriors,
١. أَلا أُبلِغ أُسيداً حيث سارَت وَيَمَّمَت
بِما لَقِيَت مِنّا جُموعُ الزَمازِمِ
2. Next morning after they ambled wantonly in the vale - and at dawn became
Food for the talons of swooping eagles,
٢. غَداةَ هَوَوا في وَأيِ خُردٍ فَأَصبَحوا
تَعودُهُم شُهبُ النُسورِ القَشاعِمِ
3. We killed them until we filled the valleys with them
As the raging flames roared among their highlands.
٣. قَتَلناهُمُ حَتّى مَلَأنا شِعابَهُم
وَقَد أُفعِمَ اللَهَبُ الَّذي بِالصَرائِمِ
