أَلَم تَرَنا غَداةَ المَقرِ جِئنا

بِأَنهارٍ وَساكِنَها جِهارا

Did you not see us the morning we left the camp

With rivers and those living by them panicking?

قَتَلناهُمُ بِها ثُمَّ اِنكَفَأنا

إِلى يَمِّ الفُراتِ بِما اِستَجارا

We killed them with it then returned

To the banks of the Euphrates with whoever sought refuge.

لَقينا مِن بَني الأَحرارِ فيها

فَوارِسَ ما يُريدونَ الفِرارا

We met there the free men's sons

Whose horses longed to flee.

نَكُرُّ الخَيلَ حابِسَةً عَلَيهِم

تَرى فينا مِنَ الطَعنِ اِزوِرارا

We held back the horses, stabbing at them

You could see our spears piercing violently.

وَما زِلنا بِهِم حَتّى أَتَينا

عَلى أُخراهُم زَمَناً مُعارا

We did not stop until we came upon

The last of them, destroying their era.
