قَتَلنا بِعَبدِ اللَهِ خَيرَ لِدانِهِ

وَخَيرَ شَبابِ الناسِ لَو ضُمَّ أَجمَعا

We killed with Abdullah the best of his people

And the best of the youths of men, were they gathered together

ذُؤابَ بنَ أَسماءَ بنِ زَيدِ بنِ قارِبٍ

مَنيَّتُهُ أَجرى إِلَيها وَأَوضَعا

Dhu'aib son of Asma son of Zayd son of Qarib

His death flowed to it and fell

فَتى مِثلُ مَتنِ السَيفِ يَهتَزُّ لِلنَدى

كَعالِيَةِ الرِمحِ الرُدَينِيِّ أَروَعا

A young man like the blade of a sword that trembles with dew

Like the high spear, brilliant and magnificent
