1. شَهِدنَ مَعَ النَبِيِّ مُسَوَّماتٍ

    حُنَيناً وَهيَ دامِيَةُ الحَوامي

    They took part alongside the Prophet, marked steeds,

    at Hunayn, their hoof edges bleeding.

  2. وَوَقَعةَ خالِدٍ شَهِدت وَحَكَّت

    سَنابِكَها عَلى البَلدِ الحَرامِ

    And they witnessed Khalid’s battle, and scraped

    their hoof tips upon the sacred land.

  3. نُعَرِّضُ لِلسُيوفِ بِكُلِّ ثَغرٍ

    خُدوداً ما تُعَرَّضُ لِلطامِ

    At every frontier we expose to swords

    cheeks never offered up for slaps.

  4. وَلَستُ بِخالِعٍ عَنّي ثِيابي

    إِذا هَرَّ الكَماةُ وَلا أُرامي

    And I am not one to strip off my clothes

    when armored warriors growl, nor do I trade arrow-shots.

  5. وَلَكِنّي يَجولُ المُهرُ تَحتي

    إِلى الغاراتِ بِالعَضبِ الحُسامِ

    But beneath me the colt wheels

    toward the raids, with the keen, cleaving sword.
