لعمري لنعم الحيُّ اسمعُ غدوةً

أسيدٌ وقد جَدَّ الصُراخُ المُصدَّق

By my life, what a good clan is the crying Asīd

A truthful one when the war cry was believed

فاسمع فتيانا كجَنَّة عَبقَرٍ

لهم رَيِّقٌ عند الطعانِ ومصدقُ

So listen, O youths, like a fragrant garden

With clear wine at the thrust and charge and believed

رأوا غارة تحوي السّوامَ كأنّها

جرادٌ ضُحَيا سارح متورَّقُ

They saw a raid containing the dark horses as though they were

Locusts cleared away, having set out early and scattered

أخَذن بهم جنبي أفاق وبطنها

فما رجعوا حتى ارقوا وأعتقوا

They took them in their sides, awoke and bellies

So they did not return until they died and were set free
