1. I thought you were my refuge when
My time was changed by its raging against me

2. And time did not cease tormenting my soul
With eternal torture

3. It tramples with its shoes the sighs of my silence
To hear an echo from my wounds

4. And one day if my hopes climbed
It would break their cisterns in vain and madness

5. And when I bent to bandage my wounds
It re-opened them, burning and cauterizing

6. And arrows had mercy on my youth
Crying while the wounds cried together

7. Woe to you, O traditions that befriend
Souls that stained the face of the land

8. Time breaks me and you too
Help my raging time against me

9. And you send the arrow of your deceit toward my heart
To drink from the veins of the heart greedily

10. And without any mercy you break my canals
But I stand straight like a spear

11. So excel in enmity for I won't care
My heart is ready for the bloody sorrow

12. It is impossible for time to humble me
The brave dies free and lofty

13. I am the flood that flows amongst a people
Turning their stagnation into flaming embers

14. It is the nature of free women to be seen
Turning mud into a throbbing tune

15. And I'm no mare created for any
Of the horsemen except the valiant

16. So do not break the will of my soul
For my weakness is not inherent

17. Take from me my youth and the glory of my life
My precedents despite the face of death alive

18. And I have an opinion in love unlike I
Change it when I find loyalty

19. And I send my passions towards death
And drive my lover forcibly

20. To a battlefield of glory seen
Only by the heroes of the brothers of Mays

21. I am Al-Khansa', my star does not fade
Competing with her bright star

22. And your kind look at my face
And ribs flutter saying go ahead

23. If my rib leans toward my heart
It cuts with its blade a young heart

24. My enemy, my killer. As for my love
That is my glory buried alive

25. In Baghdad its honor was violated
Seeking revenge, a zealous fiery breath

26. Whose lion shivers from the cold nights
And its blazing sand weaves dreams

27. We shook hands, disappointed with people
Who lost valor and took foolishness

28. Empty of bullets but themselves
Repelling evil ingeniously

29. With them we say to disasters, pride
They challenged all people, challenged
