لَقَد عَلِموا أَنَّ الكَتيبَةَ كَبشُها

بِحَجرٍ إِذا لاقى الكَمِيُّ اِبنُ مالِكِ

They knew that the battalion's ram

With a rock when the brave met the son of Maalik

هُوَ الذائِدُ الحامي الحَقيقَةَ بِالقَنا

وَفي المَحلِ زادُ المُرمِلينَ الصَعالِكِ

He is the defender, the protector of truth with the spear

And in battle the supplies of the heavily armed warriors

مَشى وَعَصى بِالسَيفِ وَاللَيلُ مُظلِمٌ

إِلى بَطَلٍ قَد هابَهُ كُلُّ فاتِكِ

He walked with disobedience with the sword and the night was dark

To a hero whom every warrior fears
