1. A hope from Ummaymah has come to comfort me
As the first stars begin to set in the west

2. While we are in the desert of Udhayb, her home
Is Hejazi, indeed this place is excellent

3. My she-camel yearns by the gate of Al-Qadisiya
And Sa'd ibn Waqqas is over me, a prince

4. And Sa'd is a prince, his evil less than his good
Tall of frame, short of supplies and provision

5. Remember God has guided you, and our swords fell
At the gate of Qudayd, though the scheme was hard

6. An evening, had the people wished, that some of them
Could borrow the wings of a bird and fly away
