1. We are knights who fought for our captives
On the day of victory, and none of us withdrew

2. How wretched is the support of the tribe by one with a beard
And the neighing of a mare in the sleepless night

3. Like prowling hyenas that miss their prey
When another hyena sees them and says, "You missed!"

4. Far be it from the sons of Majnun that their father
Was struck when the dust of battle grew dark

5. If it were not for the sons of the Harish clan, the captives
Of the Ma'azin and Anbar tribes would have been divided

6. The Kulaib clan claims they
Routed everyone even if Ka'b withdrew

7. The Kulaib clan lies that they
Misfortune comes, but its harm turns to good
