أَلا أُبلِغ أُسيداً حيث سارَت وَيَمَّمَت

بِما لَقِيَت مِنّا جُموعُ الزَمازِمِ

Shall I not tell Usayd where they marched and turned,

Of what they met from us, hordes of warriors,

غَداةَ هَوَوا في وَأيِ خُردٍ فَأَصبَحوا

تَعودُهُم شُهبُ النُسورِ القَشاعِمِ

Next morning after they ambled wantonly in the vale - and at dawn became

Food for the talons of swooping eagles,

قَتَلناهُمُ حَتّى مَلَأنا شِعابَهُم

وَقَد أُفعِمَ اللَهَبُ الَّذي بِالصَرائِمِ

We killed them until we filled the valleys with them

As the raging flames roared among their highlands.
