1. If my horses had reached you, you would have found them
Like lions protecting their lair's hidden interior.
١. لَو أَنَّ خَيلي أَدرَكَتكَ وَجَدتَهُم
مِثلَ اللُيوثِ بِسِترِ غِبِّ عَرينِ
2. And I would have led the horses to Arakah's belly
And with that deed paid off all my debts.
٢. وَلَأَورِدَنَّ الخَيلَ بَطنَ أَراكَةٍ
وَلَأَقضِيَنَّ بِفِعلِ ذاكَ دُيوني
3. And I would have killed Hajjaj from among your youth
And with him made the eyelids of eyes weep.
٣. وَلَأَقتُلُنَّ حَجاحِجاً مِن بَكرِكُم
وَلَأَبكِيَنَّ بِها جُفونَ عُيونِ
4. Until the pregnant women remain in fear
Of our attack, miscarrying every fetus.
٤. حَتّى تَظَلَّ الحامِلاتُ مَخافَةً
مِن وَقعِنا يَقدِفنَ كُلَّ جَنينِ
