فلست لحاصن إن لم ترونا

نجالدكم كأنا شرب خمر

We are not fortresses if you do not see us

Your wars against us are like drinking wine

ملكنا الناس قد علمت معدٌّ

فلم تغلب ولم تسبقُ بوِتر

You know we have ruled over people, Madi

You have not won nor have you excelled with poetry

هممنا بالإقامة ثم سرنا

بسير حذيفة الخير ابن بدر

We intended to stay but then we marched on

With the good journey of Huthayfa son of Badr
