سلوا فَلَجَ الأفلاجِ عنّا وعنكم

وأَكمَةَ إِذ سالت سرارتُها دما

Ask the ravines of Al-Aflaj about us and yourselves,

And Al-Akma when her secrets bled,

عشيَّةَ لو شئنا سَبَينا نساءَكُم

ولكن صَفَحنا عِزَّةً وتكرُّما

One evening we could have taken captive your women,

But we forgave out of honor and nobility,

عشيَّةَ جاءت من عُقَيلٍ عِصابةٌ

تقدَّمَ من أبطالِها مَن تقدَّما

One evening there came from Oqayl a band,

Whose heroes advanced, as heroes advance.
