1. O sons of Harith, you are a group
Whose glory is brilliant and valor eminent in war
١. يا بَني الحارِثِ أَنتُم مَعشَرٌ
زَندَكُم وارٍ وَفي الحَربِ بُهَم
2. With youths upon steeds ready to protect
Like lions guarding their cubs when called to arms
٢. وَلَكُم خَيلٌ عَليها فِتيَةٌ
كَأُسودِ الغيلِ يَحمينَ الأَجِم
3. There is no tribe on earth like unto you
When the foe withdraws out of fear and dread
٣. لَيسَ في الأَرضِ قَبيلٌ مِثلُكُم
حينَ يَرفَضُّ العِدا غَيرَ خُشَم
4. I shall not be mute if you do not provide
Choice horses competing in their prime
٤. لَستُ لِلصُمَّةِ إِن لَم آتِكُم
بِالخَناذيذِ تَبارى في اللُجُم
5. My eyes will frequently look to you
When the zeal of war kindles a blazing fire
٥. فَتَقَرَّ العَينُ مِنكُم مَرَّةً
بِاِنبِعاثِ الحُرِّ نَوحاً تَلتَدِم
6. And you will see the plains thronged with your warriors
No weaklings or orphans left behind
٦. وَتَرى نَجرانُ مِنكُم بَلقَعاً
غَيرَ شَمطاءَ وَطِفلٍ قَد يَتِم
7. So behold them like lions, their manes flowing
Before the year is out, lest I lie mangled and torn
٧. فَاِنظُروها كَالسَعالي شُزَّباً
قَبلَ رَأسِ الحَولِ إِن لَم أُختَرَم
