1. By your life! I am ascetic in this life
And I do not enjoy living except with a wise mother

2. None have seen the likes of the white swords
A cure for the wounded or the sick

3. By your life! The day I saw the rotation
The spear of a gallant youth in battle is flawless

4. Had you witnessed me the day I saw the rotation
The spear of a gallant youth in battle is flawless

5. The next morning Bakr bin Wael departed
With his thousands of donkeys and camels

6. The people of Hejaz turned towards their lands
And we directed the chests of the horses towards Tamim

7. The first of them belonged to Abd al-Qais
As the elders of Azd fled, so they swim

8. Never did I see a day of more intense fighting
That shed blood, from a noble and perfect one

9. Hitting the cheek of a noble youth
The most noble born of mothers, a noble one

10. Wounded at Duluab, which was not his homeland
The land of Duluab, and the sanctuary of protector

11. Had you witnessed us that day and our horses
Violating all the infidels' honor

12. I saw youths who sold their souls
For the gardens of Eden and its bliss
