1. A wise man fled on the day of Badr
Like the fleeing of a spotted camel mare

2. He threw down his weapon and neglected it
Like a lizard slipping on a rough surface

3. When he saw Badr with its floods of armies
With regiments fully armed or from Khazraj

4. Patient men leading their resolute horses
Walking steadily on the paved road

5. Among them were many glorious heroes
Brave men who faced the difficult situation

6. And dark-skinned warriors who generously give
Bearers of the burden of paying blood-money

7. Adornment of the Prophet, repeating on the day of battle
Striking the enemy with each white-bladed sword

8. Or any other more glorious hero with leadership
Or any relaxed but armed horseman

9. And the son of Hamraa Al-Ijlani survived
Whose boiling skull was like a cooking pot
