طَرَقنا بِالثَنِيِّ بَني بُجَيرٍ

بَياتاً قَبلَ تَصدِيَةِ الدُيوكِ

We rode through the valleys of Banu Bujayr

Before the dawn when cocks crow.

فَلَم نَترُك بِها إِرماً وَعُجماً

مَعَ النَصرِ المُؤَزَّرِ بِالسُهوكِ

We left no large army or small host there

With victory wrapped in mail coats.

إِلى مَن بِالزُمَيلِ وَجانِبَيهِ

وَطاروا حَيثُ طاروا كَالدُموكِ

To those whose flank and sides

Fled as sand grouse take flight.

وَأُجلوا عَن نِسائِهِمُ فَكُنّا

بِها أَولى مِنَ الحَيِّ الرَكوكِ

And who deserted their women, so we

Had better right to them than worthy men.
