1. So do not feel safe from us, we are the band of Junadab
And the companion of determined Hammam with his swift horses
١. فَلا تَأَمَنونا إِنَّنا رَهَطُ جُندُبٍ
وَصاحِبُ هَمّامٍ بِذاتِ الأَسارِعِ
2. He marched in the night seeking, as though he were
A hungry wolf or a courageous lion with strong claws
٢. سَرى يَبتَغيهِ تَحتَ لَيلٍ كَأَنَّهُ
مِثالَةُ سَبعٍ أَو شُجاعِ الأَجارِعِ
3. And without guards, while they slept, he crept up on him
Until he could touch him with his fingers
٣. وَمِن دونِ أَحراسٍ وَقَد نَدَروا بِهِ
فَما خامَ حَتّى حَسَّه بِالأَصابِعِ
4. Then he threw his sword at him, until it answered
With a fountain that brought forth the water of deception
٤. فَأَلقى عَلَيهِ السَيفَ حَتّى أَجابَهُ
بِفَوّارَةٍ تاتي بِماءِ الأَخادِعِ
