When we met them in the valley with all their army

ولما لقيناهم بهندف جمعهم

1. When we met them in the valley with all their army
They stopped and said, "Patience, O Persians!"

١. وَلَمّا لَقيناهُم بَهنَدفَ جَمعِهِم
أَناخوا وَقالوا إِصبِروا آل فارِسِ

2. We all replied, "We are more patient than you
And more generous on the day of battle and jousting."

٢. فَقُلنا جَميعاً نَحنُ أَصبَرُ مِنكُمُ
وَأَكرَمُ في يَومِ الوَغى وَالتَمارُسِ

3. We struck them with swords until their ranks recoiled,
And we set up spear points against their maces.

٣. ضَرَبناهُمُ بِالبيضِ حَتّى إِذا اِنثَنَت
أَقَمنا لَها مِثلاً بِضَربِ القَوانِسِ

4. My horses never stopped pursuing their path
And killing them after the clashing of spears.

٤. فَما فَتِئَت خَيلي تَقُصُّ طَريقَهُم
وَتَقتُلُهُم بَعدَ اِشتِباكِ الحَنادِسِ

5. They returned to us in surrender and submitted to our covenant,
And we returned to them with restraint in the assemblies.

٥. فَعادوا لَنا ديناً وَدانوا بِعَهدِنا
وَعُدنا إِلَيهِم بِالنُهى في المَجالِسِ
