1. The pangs of separation have brought me union
And the truth of patience has shown me the impossible

2. Were it not for the love of Abla in my heart
I would not have tended to their beauty

3. I blamed fate, how could it humiliate one like me
When I have a resolve with which I can move mountains

4. I am the man you have heard about
And you have already seen my deeds

5. The morning the tribes of Tayy and Kalb came
Brandishing spears with their hands

6. With an army, whenever I looked in it
I thought the land was filled with men

7. They trampled our land with treachery
So that the neighing of their horses was gossip and words

8. They turned away from us confused
Missing thrusts and stirrups from them

9. The highborn did not bear injustice
Nor did their supplications hear any words

10. Only the protection of the helpless is Abdel
And the fire of war rages furiously

11. With a thrust that makes stalwarts tremble
So they avoid fighting

12. I charged the army until every skilled one
And returned to find no shade for them

13. Their horses fled before my sword
Lightly after they had been heavy

14. Trampling on the horsemen as they galloped
Taking their skulls as shoes

15. And how many champions I felled
Who stir their left side after their right

16. I saved the virgins and the singing girls
And did not leave anyone shackled
