وَنَحنُ قَتَلنا يَزد جَردٍ بِبَعجَةٍ

مِنَ الرُعبِ إِذ وَلّى الفِرارَ وَغارا

And we killed Yazd the coward in the morning

When he turned in flight and hid away in fear

غَداةَ لَقيناهُم بِمُروٍّ تَخالُهُم

نُموراً عَلى تِلكَ الجِبال وَبارا

The next day we met them in Muroo while they deemed

Themselves like tigers on those mountains and plains

قَتَلناهُم في حَربَةٍ طَحَنَت بِهِم

غَداةَ الرَزيقِ إِذ أَرادَ حِوارا

We killed them in a battle that ground them down

The next day at breakfast when they wanted talk

ضَمَمنا عَلَيهِم جانِبيهِم بِصادِقٍ

مِنَ الطَعنِ ما دامَ النَهارُ نَهارا

We pressed on their flanks with true thrust of spears

As long as daylight lasted, all day long

فَوَاللَهِ لَولا اللَه لا شَيءَ غَيرَهُ

لَغادَت عَلَيهِم بِالرَزيقِ بَوارا

By God, were it not for God and none but Him

They would have perished by fate at breakfast time
