1. إذا خرج الغازي فقل لا مشت به

    إلى مطلب ساق ولا نهضت رجل

    When the raider sets out, say: “May he never be carried

    toward any goal by a leg, nor may a foot rise.”

  2. فما يصحب الغازي من الناس فاضل

    ولا من له عرف ولا من له عقل

    For no worthy person among the people accompanies the raider,

    nor anyone with decency, nor anyone with reason—

  3. بقايا رذالات القرايا وكل من

    له أدب نذل ومولده رذل

    only the remnants of the villages’ riffraff, and everyone

    whose manners are base and whose birth is vile.
