لَو أَنَّ خَيلي أَدرَكَتكَ وَجَدتَهُم

مِثلَ اللُيوثِ بِسِترِ غِبِّ عَرينِ

If my horses had reached you, you would have found them

Like lions protecting their lair's hidden interior.

وَلَأَورِدَنَّ الخَيلَ بَطنَ أَراكَةٍ

وَلَأَقضِيَنَّ بِفِعلِ ذاكَ دُيوني

And I would have led the horses to Arakah's belly

And with that deed paid off all my debts.

وَلَأَقتُلُنَّ حَجاحِجاً مِن بَكرِكُم

وَلَأَبكِيَنَّ بِها جُفونَ عُيونِ

And I would have killed Hajjaj from among your youth

And with him made the eyelids of eyes weep.

حَتّى تَظَلَّ الحامِلاتُ مَخافَةً

مِن وَقعِنا يَقدِفنَ كُلَّ جَنينِ

Until the pregnant women remain in fear

Of our attack, miscarrying every fetus.
