1. وَسِرنا كَمَوجِ البَحرِ تَطموا سُيولُهُ

    بِخَيلٍ تَراها في العَجاجَةِ تَمزَعُ

    And we advanced like the sea’s waves, its torrents surging,

    with horses you see galloping swiftly through the dust cloud.

  2. فَقامَت بَنو عَوفٍ وَقَد حَمِيَ الوَغى

    يُنادونَ عَمراً وَالأَسِنَّةُ تَنجَعُ

    Then the sons of ʿAwf rose, the battle already fierce,

    calling out to ʿAmr while the spearheads struck home.
