1. O ladder, how many cowards have you endured
Beneath the swords, and if not for you, they would not have endured

2. You continued to ascend while the heroes attacked furiously
In battle, plunging into the enemy throng when they clashed

3. No valiant knight of Tameem was ever absent
From Mazin, wearing victory like one who grants triumph

4. Seekers of Dhahal, outstripping the enemy with it
That cannot be overtaken if the strings are cut

5. The darkness breaks away, astonished, from a shining
Full moon when it appears, inundating with moonlight

6. Bearing the standards of victory fluttering
It calls the two beloveds—varied death and victory

7. I hope for overflowing generosity from him; his comfort
Is like the Euphrates when annoyed, overflowing

8. If you were not a human, O ladder, we would recognize you
As a rain cloud, trailing rain
