لقد علمت أَقيالُ مَذحِجَ أَنني

أَنا الفارسُ الحامي إِذا القومُ ضَجَّروا

I knew the men of Muzaḥiǧ that I

Am the protector knight when people are annoyed

صَبَرتُ لأَهل القادسيةِ مُعلماً

ومثلي إِذا لم يَصبرِ الناسُ يَصبِرُ

I was patient with the people of Qadisiya teaching

And the like of me, when people are not patient, is patient

وطاعنتُهم بالرمح حتى تَبدَّدوا

وضاربتُهم بالسيف حتى تكسَّروا

And I stabbed them with the spear until they scattered

And I struck them with the sword until they broke

بذلك أوصاني أبي وأبو أبي

بذلك أَوصَوني فلستُ أُقَصِّرُ

That's how my father and my father's father instructed me

That's how they instructed me, so I do not fall short

حَمِدتُ إِلهي إذ هداني لدينه

فللّهِ أَسعى ما حَييتُ وأَشكرُ

I praised my God when He guided me to His religion

So to Allah I strive as long as I live and thank
