1. When vengeance is sought and battle engaged
Our sharp swords are drawn for the fray

2. In the melee where confusion reigns
Blood flows while warriors lay

3. No ransom can spare us from death
For death's arrival none can delay

4. We struck Al-Harith till he reeled
His hand and defenders gave way

5. No people who owed us blood-debt died
Ere we collected that blood-price to pay
