أَكثَرتُ قَتلَ بَني بَكرٍ بِرَبِّهِمِ

أَكثَرتُ قَتلَ بَني بَكرٍ بِرَبِّهِمِ

حَتّى بَكَيتُ وَما يَبكي لَهُم أَحَدُ

حَتّى بَكَيتُ وَما يَبكي لَهُم أَحَدُ

I slew so many of the sons of Bakr in vengeance for their lord,

I have killed many of the Bani Bakr tribe

Until I wept, though no one weeps for them.

Until I weep while no one weeps for them

آلَيتُ بِاللَهِ لا أَرضى بِقَتلِهِم

آلَيتُ بِاللَهِ لا أَرضى بِقَتلِهِم

حَتّى أُبَهرِجَ بَكراً أَينَما وُجِدوا

حَتّى أُبَهرِجَ بَكراً أَينَما وُجِدوا

I swore by God: I will not be satisfied with killing them

I swear by God I won't be pleased by killing them

Until I declare Bakr fair game wherever they are found.

Until I utterly destroy the Bakr wherever they are found
