1. You have today cut your rope from Kanuda
To replace her rope with a new one

2. Of those who when they walk gently
Sway hips and calves

3. As if their bellies were Indian swords
When they reveal their hidden charms

4. She appeared before me to kill me and showed
A plump cheek and a face when it appeared to me

5. The morning we parted was like a pure gold dinar
We drank in the desert cups with Hatif

6. The sons of Auf and their brothers increase
We met them in every battle led by a brother

7. Leading behind him a prepared army
With the tips of its unsheathed swords bent

8. Did you think fighting my people
Was like your eating berries and seeds?

9. Death struck Sa'ida the son of Ka'b
And left in his dwellings only apes

10. And purposes have been turned back in Tarif
And Aqil where they forge iron

11. And our swords have lasted upon you
Oh sons of the worst treachery, for a long time

12. And your group refuses anything but flight
While our group refuses anything but attack

13. And our threat to you when we walk
With them to death is no empty threat

14. Oh who will convey from me to Ku'ayb
Will your resolve forbid you from returning?

15. Whenever I undertake a matter
The sons of Raq'a you oppose ascending

16. So the swords of Aus left of you
Nothing but the fleeing remnant

17. We will not cease to kill your men
And make you slaves
