By evening, the young man Amr ibn Abd lay dead,
The youth Amr ibn Abd wandered
On the southern side of Salʿ, his blood-vengeance unheeded.
In the south of Sal' though unnoticed his revolt.
وَلَقَدand indeed وَجَدتَyou found سُيوفَناour swords مَشهورَةًdrawn

And indeed you found our swords drawn,
Indeed you found our swords renowned
And indeed you found our steeds did not fall short.
And our steeds you found did not fail.
وَلَقَدand indeed لَقيتَyou encountered غَداةَon the morning of بَدرٍBadr عُصبَةًa band

And indeed, on the morning of Badr, you met a band
You met at Badr's morn a band
Who struck you with blows unlike those of unarmored men.
Who struck you with blows, not gentle blows.

ياO عَمروُAmr أَوor لِجَسيمِfor a momentous أَمرٍaffair مُنكَرِdreadful
يا عَمروُ أَو لِجَسيمِ أَمرٍ مُنكَرِ
You are no longer summoned for a day of great calamity,
You are no longer called for days of glory,
O Amr, or for a momentous, dreadful affair.
O Amr, or for grave and heinous deeds.
