وَقَد باتَت عَلَيهِ مَها رُماحٍ

وَقَد باتَت عَلَيهِ مَها رُماحٍ

حَواسِرَ ما تَنامُ وَلا تُنيمُ

حَواسِرَ ما تَنامُ وَلا تُنيمُ

And indeed, the oryxes of Rumāḥ spent the night over him,

And many a lance with pennons white has charged

Bareheaded, neither sleeping nor letting others sleep.

At night and never slept, undreaming sleep.
