1. I was silent, so my enemies rejoiced
And thought I had forgotten my family

2. How can I sleep when it comes to the chiefs of my people
I was raised in the grace of their favors

3. And if the horses of enemies revolved around them
I responded whenever I was called

4. With a sword whose edge pours calamities
And a spear whose chest is deadly fate

5. I was created with an iron heart, harder
And iron decays while I have not decayed

6. And in war I was born a child
And was given to drink the milk of ambitions

7. Indeed I have drunk the blood of enemies
With the skulls, and I am not satiated

8. So the spear has no share in my body
Nor does the sword have strength in my limbs

9. And I have a house higher than the stars of Thuraya
Before the greatness of its prestige, houses tremble
