1. Indeed, Juyi has turned his back
On companions who never failed him, his brothers.

2. If Juyi perishes, every soul
Will meet the same fate as he did.

3. If Juyi perishes, know that after you
War will blaze as you supposed it would.

4. Your suspicions were not misplaced the day
You turned away, spears quenching their thirst.

5. It was as if you knew, the day
Your clothes were torn, what despoilers would reap.

6. Your vows will be kept, vows have loyalty
When their fulfillment reaches the treasury.

7. We spent the morning as Khazrajite women
Whose loved ones destruction had bereaved.

8. Neither ibexes nor fifty were exempted
In the Kaba, by those who sought them.

9. We did not say to them, “A life for a life -
Give us the same if you refuse hers.”

10. But we repelled them thirsty
And let them drink deep of your memory.

11. If the dead could know the deeds of the living,
Your swords would bring you joy in their flashing.
