1. جَلَبنا الخَيلَ وَالإِبِلَ المَهارى

    إِلى الأَعراضِ أَعراضِ السَوادِ

    We brought the finest horses and camels

    To the highlands, the highlands of blackness

  2. وَلَم تَرَ مِثلَنا كَرَماً وَمَجداً

    وَلَم تَرَ مِثلَنا شِنخابُ هادِ

    You have not seen the like of us in nobility and glory

    You have not seen the like of us, dwellers of the plateau

  3. شَحَنّا جانِبَ المَلطاطِ مِنّا

    بِجَمعٍ لا يَزولُ عَن البِعادِ

    We packed the side of the valley with our numbers

    A host that does not recede from the waste

  4. لَزِمنا جانِبَ المَلطاطِ حَتّى

    رَأَينا الزَرعَ يُقمَعُ بِالحَصادِ

    We kept to the side of the valley until

    We saw the crops trodden down by the harvest

  5. لَنَأتي مَعشَراً أَلبوا عَلَينا

    إِلى الأَنبارِ أَنبارِ العِبادِ

    We will come in numbers against those who took up arms against us

    To Anbar, Anbar of the servants
