1. We met a band of them,
And the whole band did what I wished;

2. As though it were the day of Qurra
For we were slaying only ourselves.

3. We killed every one of them,
A milk-white noble youth;

4. Wearing an embroidered robe,
A Najrani, the best of its sons.

5. When he went forth to pasture his flocks,
A hundred sheep followed behind him.
