جَدَعتُ عَلى الماهاتِ آنَفُ فارِسٍ

بِكُلِّ فَتى مِن صُلبِ فارِسٍ حاذِرِ

I confronted the nobles, the persians' most valiant knights,

With every youth descended from a lineage of knights, beware!

هَتَكتُ بُيوتَ الفُرسِ يَومَ لَقَيتهُم

وَما كُلُّ مَن يَلقى الحُروبَ بِثائِرِ

I razed the persians' homes when I met them in battle,

Though not every man who faces wars is unflinching.

حَبَستُ رُكابَ الفَيرَزانِ وَجَمعَهُ

عَلى فَتَرٍ مِن حَرِّها غَيرِ فاتِرِ

I detained the persians' riders and their army

In the fierce heat of battle, untiring.

هَدَمتُ بِهِ الماهاتِ وَالدَربُ بَغتَةً

إِلى غايَةٍ أُخرى اللَيالي الغَوابِرِ

With it I demolished the nobles, and the path suddenly

Reached a different end, through the gloomy nights.
