1. We have a fortress that remains submissive
It is feared by the cowardly and worthless people

2. Disheveled and small yet it has plains
Wherein rest the brave and unarmed heroes

3. Under the shade of its great trees
Are teeth that bite the brave men during war

4. Whenever I call on the people of Fuqaym
Hordes come that cannot be counted

5. And when the spring's flowers come calling
They flow like unleashed locusts

6. And in my cavalry there is a strong mare
Whose shoulders are unyielding and eyes piercing

7. And when the champions challenge the cavalry
They rally around me and do not retreat

8. And when I flaunt my banner carried
By Sufyan and Udas the valiant and Jandal

9. The greatest in number when counted
And the most honorable when ranked first

10. You missed your step and could not stand
Where you stopped at the mountain pass

11. The crowds are not yours so wait
Till evening comes and the watering hole is empty

12. The garb of kings is our clothes among our people
And we don the thick robes for battle

13. Our dreams can move mountains steadily
And our imaginations are like ghosts when perplexed

14. So repel with your palm if you want our edifice
This slippery rugged terrain, will it shake?

15. I am the son of Hanthalah the most courageous
And I am among the eminent knights of Dabba

16. Whose offspring have reached the sky in fame
And to whom every fear is shackled
