1. Unless there be wealth to be gained, then verily
My praise of Zayd son of Muhallal will come.

2. You have not dealt treacherously with us, but you took us by surprise
One morning when we met you at Al-Muzdalif.

3. The blindness of war avoided the striking of his spear
As the wild animals avoid the striking of deadly weapons.

4. And you were given love by us the day we met you
And the clan of Badr is one that does not act thoughtlessly.
