She surely unleashes raids on the day of her encounter.
On the day they meet, skulls are her prey
And her proud nobles were indeed skull-smiters.
And her raids cause devastation and dismay

إِذا ما اِلتَقَت حُمرُ المَنايا وَسودُها
Her hands are strongholds for whoever comes seeking refuge,
To those seeking refuge, she shows no grace
When red deaths and their black counterparts meet.
When the blacks of death meet the reds of her mace

وَبِالهِندَوانِيّات يَفري حَديدُها
And whenever Bajila fought with lances,
When Bajila faced the warriors of Hind
And with Indian swords, her steel would cleave.
Her iron made their ranks break and rescind

So her bounty was created for a people alone;
She was made for a people whose gift would be
Her generosity goes to the hands of Bajila.
Bounty and plenty for brave Bajila's fee
