1. We protected our women on the first day,
On the day of Auf and when tongues were lisping,

2. And on the day of battles with spears at Baniyan,
Some of what they had paid in advance,

3. The young girls love the shadow of our flags,
When the screaming herald comes panting to us,

4. We walk ahead of the people and the people behind us,
If we gesture to the people they stop,

5. So which aggressor's spears did we drive away
As we have driven them away and the boasters do us justice,

6. Whenever a group set up camp against us
And their slave girls passed by and were abashed,

7. We set for them a measure of retribution as a hostage,
And we fulfill it when people are cheating,

8. If the tribes compete for glory you will find us,
With a cup of glory for us and a cup for the people,

9. We came forth and reddened our swords for every tribe,
With our swords when the weak are being devoured,

10. It was us who protected Mecca with spears one day,
Qusayy and the tips of spears all crumbling,

11. We circled its environs after Mecca
Intended what Allah had refused should surround it.
