1. وَكانوا عَلى الإِسلامِ إِلباً ثَلاثَةً

    فَقَد بَزَّ مِن تِلكَ الثَلاثَةِ واحِدُ

    And they were three, united against Islam.

    Indeed, one of those three was despoiled.

  2. وَفَرَّ أَبو عَمروٍ هُبَيرَةَ لَم يَعُد

    لَنا وَأَخو الحَربِ المُجَرِّبِ عائِدُ

    And Abu ‘Amr, Hubayrah, fled and did not return

    to us; yet a seasoned warrior returns.

  3. نَهَتهُم سُيوفُ الهِندِ أَن يَقِفوا لَنا

    غَداةَ التَقَينا وَالرِماحُ المَصايِدُ

    The swords of India deterred them from standing against us

    on the morning we met, with the spears as snares.
