1. By your life! The sons of Ziyad have not wasted
The glory of their father among those who waste.

2. The Jinniyah bore swords as sons,
All stalwart blades, each a feat wrought.

3. And their neighbor is a steed that is never weak,
That feeds in winter yet is never hungry.

4. I have pledged allegiance and bestowed my honor
Upon the last victor forever flourishing.
