نَحْنُ اللَّذُونَ صبَّحُوا الصَباحا

يَوْمَ النُخَيْلِ غارَةً مِلْحاحا

We are those who greeted the dawn

On the day of the palm trees with a fierce attack

نَحْنُ قَتَلْنَا المَلِكَ الجَحْجاحا

دَهْراً فَهَيَّجْنا بِهِ أَنْواحا

We are those who killed the screaming king

Stirring lamentations for an epoch

لا كَذِبَ اليَوْمِ وَلا مِزاحا

مَذْحِجَ فَاجْتَحْناهُمُ اجْتِياحا

Today there is no jest or lies

When they were insolent we assaulted them violently

فَلَمْ نَدَعْ لِسارِحٍ مُراحا

إِلَّا دِياراً أَوْ دَماً مُفاحا

We left no respite for any fugitive

Except houses with blood spilled or ruins

نَحْنُ بَنُو خُوَيْلِدٍ صِراحا

We are the clan of Khuwailid, clearly
