أفي حفر السويان أصبح قومنا

علينا غضابا كلهم يتجرم

In the hollows of Suway'an are our people

All angry with us, all are criminals

سبقنا اليه يوم بويع خالد

وحفر البطاح فوق أرجائه الدم

We came before them the day Khaled was pledged allegiance

And Al-Bataah was dug with its corners bloody

خططنا بأطراف الرماح ركيها

وأرحالها والماء خال مسدم

We designed it with the tips of spears, drawn,

And their saddles, and the water free of turbidity
