1. We rode our steeds towards the enemies
Attacking vigorously with valor and determination

2. We terrified them with dread and dismay
With a battalion whose spears peered out from their robes

3. Their muscular arms brandished swords
Whose blades shone like meteors

4. Had we feared you, we would not have shown weakness
With wooden sticks we discipline even dogs

5. We killed their horsemen openly
And returned with captives and plunder

6. Captives from Tayy' we brought out by force
And turned their palaces into simple huts

7. We led them, some complacent, some resentful of their fate
Captives from every Tayy' clan

8. Neither were their daughters made captive
Nor taken as concubines, as desirable as they were

9. Nor was their blood shed
As retaliation we exacted

10. With a torch as bright as the rising sun
Behind the veil of dawn

11. They tried to snuff it out, but it terrified them
With its wide and leaping flames

12. Calling "Come forth! Attack! Woe to you! Begone!"
