We reached it first on the day allegiance was pledged to Khalid,
We came before them the day Khaled was pledged allegiance
and blood lay upon the edges of Hafar al-Bitah.
And Al-Bataah was dug with its corners bloody
خططناwe marked out بأطرافwith the tips of الرماحthe spears ركيهاits wells
خططنا بأطراف الرماح ركيها

وأرحالها والماء خال مسدم
With the tips of spears we marked out its wells
We designed it with the tips of spears, drawn,
and its encampments, while the water stood unused and neglected.
And their saddles, and the water free of turbidity
