شَهِدنَ مَعَ النَبِيِّ مُسَوَّماتٍ

حُنَيناً وَهيَ دامِيَةُ الحَوامي

The marked ones witnessed with the Prophet

At Hunain while gushing blood from all sides

وَوَقَعةَ خالِدٍ شَهِدت وَحَكَّت

سَنابِكَها عَلى البَلدِ الحَرامِ

And Khalid's battle which she witnessed and related

Its battles over the sacred town

نُعَرِّضُ لِلسُيوفِ بِكُلِّ ثَغرٍ

خُدوداً ما تُعَرَّضُ لِلطامِ

We expose our cheeks to the swords at every frontier

Cheeks not exposed to reproach

وَلَستُ بِخالِعٍ عَنّي ثِيابي

إِذا هَرَّ الكَماةُ وَلا أُرامي

And I do not take off my garb from me

When the archers flee and do not shoot back

وَلَكِنّي يَجولُ المُهرُ تَحتي

إِلى الغاراتِ بِالعَضبِ الحُسامِ

But the skilful sword wanders under me

To raids with the sharp cutting blade
