If the house of Arwa's son stands empty at evening,
If the home of Ibn Arwa lies empty,
A tusk fallen, and a gate burned and ruined,
With its door broken and gate burnt down,

Yet a seeker of good may find what he needs
Then the seeker of good may find his need
Within it, and renown and ancestral honor take refuge there.
And the honorable man may take shelter.

Among them a beloved, the flame of war, leads them
Clad in armor, with anger showing on his face.
Angrily, rage shows on his face.
