لعَمرُكَ ما لَيثٌ بِخَفّانَ خادِرٌ

بِأَشجَعَ مِن بِشرِ اِبنِ عُتبَةَ مُقدِما

By your life! No coward with two slippers is a lion

Braver than the son of Utba leading the charge

أَباءَ بِشَيبانَ الثُؤورَ وَقَد رَأى

بَني فاتِكٍ هابوا الوَشيجَ المُقَوَّما

He refused gray hairs until he saw

The sons of Fatik flee from the straightened spear
