1. We have dispelled all doubt from Tihama,
And Khaibar, then we sheathed our swords.

2. We scrutinize them, and if they could speak, they would say
Their blades in Daws or Thaqif struck violently.

3. So I am no woman to nurse if you do not see them
In the courtyard of your abode, thousands from us.

4. And we snatch the citadels belly-first,
And your homes will be empty of you by morning.

5. And there will come to you our horses quickly,
Leaving behind them a dense gathering.

6. When they descend upon your courtyard, you will hear
From it what its housing thundered loudly.

7. In their hands sharp straight swords
That make the armored glint dangerously.

8. Like carnelians whose purity
Indian eyes have never seen the like of.

9. You imagine the bravery of heroes in them
The morning of battle, charging violently.

10. Do I not implore them, is there not among the tribes
One who was intimate with us to advise them

11. To inform them that we have gathered
The noble horses and gallant knights?

12. And that we have come upon them with a march
That encircles the fence of their fortress in rows.

13. Their leader the Prophet, steadfast he was
Pure of heart, patient, aloof.

14. Wise in command, judicious and learned
And forbearing, not frivolous or weak.

15. We obey our Prophet and obey a Lord
Who is Merciful and has been gentle with us.

16. So if you incline toward peace we will accept
And make you for us a pillar and ally.

17. And if you refuse we will battle you and be steadfast
And our matter will not tremble, frail.

18. We will struggle as long as we last, or you relent
To Islam, submissively inclining.

19. We will battle heedless of whom we meet
Whether we destroy the settlements or the peripheries.

20. And how many groups attacked us
Obstinately, of them and their allies.

21. They came to us seeing no match for themselves
So we shattered the ears and the noses.

22. With every polished, pliant, sharpened blade
We drive them violently like cattle.

23. For the cause of God and Islam until
The religion stands upright, tolerant and straight.

24. And Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Wadd are forgotten
And we take their necklaces and crescents.

25. So they settled and grew calm,
And whoever does not resist is killed despondently.
