1. And a day at Badghis I was victorious and the enemy was routed
Their band lay dead by the bridge side
١. وَيَومٍ بِباجِسرى هَزَمتُ وَغودِرَت
جَماعَتُهُم صَرعى لَدى جانِبِ الجِسرِ
2. So they fled headlong like ostriches scattered, panic-stricken
٢. فَوَلَّوا سِراعاً هارِبينَ كَأَنَّهُم
رَعيلُ نِعامٍ بِالفَلا شُرَّدٍ ذُعرِ
