We accompanied them on the morning of Banat Qayn,
Our comrades at dawn are Qayn's maidens,
a massed battalion, clamorous and crushing.
Wavy-haired, with a towering mountain.
كَأَنَّas though الخَيلَthe horses يَومَon the day of بِناتِdaughters of قينٍQayn
كَأَنَّ الخَيلَ يَومَ بِناتِ قينٍ
يُرينَthey show وَلاءَهُمloyalty to them ماnot يَبتَغيناthey seek
يُرينَ وَلاءَهُم ما يَبتَغينا
As though the horses on the day of Banat Qayn
As though the steeds, on the day of Qayn's maidens,
were showing loyalty to them, seeking nothing.
Were showing their devotion to what we seek.
