أَلا أَبلِغ لَدَيكَ بَني قُرَيمٍ

مُغَلغَلَةً يَجىءُ بِها الخَبيرُ

Shall I not inform you, O sons of Quraym

Bound in fetters, brought by the experienced one

أَلا يا لَيتَ أُهبانَ بنَ لُعطٍ

تَلَفَّتَ وَسطَهُم حينَ اِستُثيروا

Oh, would that Uhayhan son of Lu'ayy

Had writhed amidst them when they were stirred

فَيَقتُل أَو يَرى غَبنا مُبينا

وَذلِكَ لَو عَلِمتَ بِهِ نَصورُ

So he kills or sees clear loss

If only you knew that, O Nasur

كَأَنَّ القَومَ مِن نَبلِ اِبنِ رُمحٍ

إِذا القَمراءُ تَلفَحُهُم سَعيرُ

As if the people were from the arrows of Ibn Rumh

When the red sparks flash over them heatedly

جَلَبناهُم عَلى الوَتَرَينِ شَدّاً

عَلى أَستاهِهِم وَشَلٌ غَزيرُ

We brought them in a single file, pulling tight

On their camel stallion, abundant is the flow

سَعَيتُ لَكُم عَلى رَجفٍ وَطَرٍّ

إِذا لَفَحَت وُجوهَكُم الحَرورُ

I strove for you over trembling and loose ground

When the heat flared on your faces
