1. When enemies charged as if they were
Banners of allies marked with kohl,

2. We confronted them with crushing blows
And pierced them from every side.

3. Had it not been for Al-Harith's banner, they would have
Been sold in markets like slaves in shackles,

4. Sucking arrows as if they were
Heavy rain pouring from laden clouds.

5. We took people by surprise as if
Scorching embers pierced them through.
