أَلا هَل أَتى الفِتيانَ بِالمِصرِ أَنَّني

أَسَرتُ بِعَينِ التَّمرِ أَروَعَ ماجِدا

Has not the news reached the young men of Egypt that I

Have captured the most glorious warrior with a date pit

وَفَرقتُ بَينَ الخَيلِ لَمّا تَواقَفَت

بِطَعنِ اِمرِئٍ قَد قامَ مَن كانَ قاعِدا

And separated the horses when they had come together

By stabbing a man who had risen from his seat
