We encountered, on the day of Ullays and Amgha,
On the days of Ullays and Amgha
And on the day of al-Maqr, the lions of daylight.
And the day of Maqar, the sun lingered long

More grievous to the great, mighty chieftains.
So hard upon the mighty veterans

The rest of their warriors vanished into captivity
