1. When the evil wished to hurt us,
The generous people of Najd were enveloped in perplexity,

2. When the Khazraj called out on the day of battle,
And the two priests prepared the horses and held fast,

3. They came to the aid of Aus when their might crumbled,
Until through them kindreds and protections were restored,

4. When there came from Banu Amr a mixed group,
With it the valleys and hills of earth were demolished,

5. And from Banu Khatma the heroes knew
They would not panic when their enemies made peace,

6. May God reward them wherever they are mentioned,
In the presence of virtues when blessings are counted,

7. By God we disavow them not as long as there is a sprouting twig
And a sign remains in the land from its symbols,

8. They paid ransoms and protected us with their souls,
In times of hardship they were righteous and noble,

9. And I will not forget them if an ignorant fool speaks ill
And does not dampen my honor or address me.
