1. صَلّى الإِلَهُ عَلى الَّذينَ تَتابَعوا

    يَومَ الرَجيعِ فَأُكرِموا وَأُثيبوا

    May God bless those who followed one another

    On the day of al-Rajiʿ, and so were honored and rewarded.

  2. رَأسُ الكَتيبَةِ مَرثَدٌ وَأَميرُهُم

    إِبنُ البُكَيرِ أَمامَهُم وَخَبيبُ

    Marthad, head of the troop and their commander,

    Ibn al-Bukayr before them, and Khubayb,

  3. وَاِبنٌ لِطارِقَ وَاِبنُ دَثنَةَ فيهِمِ

    وافاهُ ثَمَّ حِمامُهُ المَكتوبُ

    And a son of Tariq, and the son of Dathnah among them.

    There his ordained death overtook him.

  4. مَنَعَ المَقادَةَ أَنْ يَنالوا ظَهرَهُ

    حَتّى يُجالِدَ إِنَّهُ لَنَجيبُ

    He refused submission, lest they lay hold of his back,

    Until he fought with the sword—he was indeed noble.

  5. وَالعاصِمُ المَقتولُ عِندَ رَجيعِهِم

    كَسَبَ المَعالي إِنَّهُ لَكَسوبُ

    And Asim, slain at their Rajiʿ,

    Earned lofty honors; he was indeed a great achiever.
