فَلا تَأَمَنونا إِنَّنا رَهَطُ جُندُبٍ

وَصاحِبُ هَمّامٍ بِذاتِ الأَسارِعِ

So do not feel safe from us, we are the band of Junadab

And the companion of determined Hammam with his swift horses

سَرى يَبتَغيهِ تَحتَ لَيلٍ كَأَنَّهُ

مِثالَةُ سَبعٍ أَو شُجاعِ الأَجارِعِ

He marched in the night seeking, as though he were

A hungry wolf or a courageous lion with strong claws

وَمِن دونِ أَحراسٍ وَقَد نَدَروا بِهِ

فَما خامَ حَتّى حَسَّه بِالأَصابِعِ

And without guards, while they slept, he crept up on him

Until he could touch him with his fingers

فَأَلقى عَلَيهِ السَيفَ حَتّى أَجابَهُ

بِفَوّارَةٍ تاتي بِماءِ الأَخادِعِ

Then he threw his sword at him, until it answered

With a fountain that brought forth the water of deception
