أَبلِغ قُحافَةَ عَنّا في دِيارِهِمُ

أَبلِغ قُحافَةَ عَنّا في دِيارِهِمُ

وَالحَربُ تَكشِرُ عَن نابٍ وَأَضراسِ

وَالحَربُ تَكشِرُ عَن نابٍ وَأَضراسِ

Tell Quhafa, on our behalf, in their dwellings,

Convey to Quhafa in their abodes

while war bares its fang and molars,

As war bares its fangs and gnashes teeth

أَنّا قَتَلنا بِتَرجٍ مِن سَراتِهِمُ

أَنّا قَتَلنا بِتَرجٍ مِن سَراتِهِمُ

سَبعينَ مُقتَبِلاً صَرعى بِعَبّاسِ

سَبعينَ مُقتَبِلاً صَرعى بِعَبّاسِ

that at Tarj we killed, from among their chiefs,

That we at Taraj killed seventy of theirs

seventy men in their prime, laid low by Abbas.

Prone and lifeless through Abbas' hands
