1. The youth Amr ibn Abd wandered
In the south of Sal' though unnoticed his revolt.

2. Indeed you found our swords renowned
And our steeds you found did not fail.

3. You met at Badr's morn a band
Who struck you with blows, not gentle blows.

4. You are no longer called for days of glory,
O Amr, or for grave and heinous deeds.
