1. I stayed up and spent the night sleepless
As the dark excruciating pain beset me

2. I stay up reminiscing the Banu Mazin
As if I were a sleepless bleary-eyed person

3. Shall I raid the men of Banu Mazin
In the belly of Dhubabah or shall I sleep

4. And I prepared for war white horses
As if their resting places were made of ice
