1. لَقَد عَلِموا أَنَّ الكَتيبَةَ كَبشُها

    بِحَجرٍ إِذا لاقى الكَمِيُّ اِبنُ مالِكِ

    They knew full well that the battalion’s ram

    At Hajr, when the armored warrior meets his foe, is Ibn Malik.

  2. هُوَ الذائِدُ الحامي الحَقيقَةَ بِالقَنا

    وَفي المَحلِ زادُ المُرمِلينَ الصَعالِكِ

    He is the defender, guarding honor with spears,

    And in famine, sustenance for the destitute poor.

  3. مَشى وَعَصى بِالسَيفِ وَاللَيلُ مُظلِمٌ

    إِلى بَطَلٍ قَد هابَهُ كُلُّ فاتِكِ

    He walked and struck with the sword while the night was dark,

    Toward a champion whom every ruthless fighter had feared.
