لِأَورِدَنَّ العاصي اِبنَ العاصي

لِأَورِدَنَّ العاصي اِبنَ العاصي

سَبعينَ أَلفاً عاقِدي النَواصي

سَبعينَ أَلفاً عاقِدي النَواصي

I shall surely bring against al-ʿĀṣī, son of al-ʿĀṣī,

I will lead the rebel son of the rebel,

I shall surely bring against al-Asi, son of al-Asi,

Seventy thousand who bind the forelocks,

Seventy thousand tightly-bound men,

Seventy thousand with forelocks knotted tight,

مُستَحلِقينَ حَلقَ الدَلاصَ

مُستَحلِقينَ حَلقَ الدَلاصَ

قَد جَنَّبوا الخَيلَ مَعَ القِلاصِ

قَد جَنَّبوا الخَيلَ مَعَ القِلاصِ

Clad in rings of polished mail,

With shaved heads devoid of hair,

Clad in the rings of smooth, glittering mail,

Who have already led the horses alongside the young she-camels,

Who have rested their steeds along with their weapons,

Leading horses alongside young she-camels,

آسادَ غَيلٍ حينَ لا مَناصِ

آسادَ غَيلٍ حينَ لا مَناصِ

Lions of the thicket, when there is no escape.

Lions of a dense forest when there is no escape.

Lions of the thicket when there is no escape.
