1. Let War's horses weep copiously, a defeated army
Death drank from goblets at Rudayniyyah's feast

2. They met the like of them but were routed by a shout
He shouted "O Khaibar" though the steeds raced with them

3. Between the shouter "Khaibar" and them
A month's journey for the maimed she-camel

4. How many days has fate demolished a mountain for us
With pouring rains, rumbling thunder, the mount is effaced

5. Yet we remain, like our mountains, enduring
Against misfortunes and time, steadfast and firm

6. The dead cannot prevent, like Khaibar's clans
Wailings, not the clash of arms, nor our plunge

7. For he who shouted "Khaibar" was granted
To slay the Prophet's friend, Abu Bakr

8. Who died, not survived, no tribe of men
But mourned him bitterly, all were aggrieved

9. If the honored dead could death defeat
For his people's glory, this tomb's owner would not have died

10. In him were struck down Amr, Sa'd, Malik
And Omar's clan by fate's mighty blow
