سائِل بِنا يَومَ المُصَيَّخِ تَغلِباً

وَهَل عالمٌ شَيئاً وَآخَرُ جاهِلُ

The inquirer asked us on the day of assembly for conquest

And is there a scholar who knows something and another ignorant?

طَرقناهُمُ فيهِ طَروقاً فَأَصبَحوا

أَحاديثَ في أَفناءِ تِلكَ القَبائِلِ

We made them stumble and stagger, so they became

Tales in the courtyards of those tribes,

وَفيهِم إِيادٌ وَالنُمورُ وَكُلُّهُم

أَصاخَ لما قَد عَزَّهُم لِلزَّلازِلِ

Among them Eyyad and the tigers, all of them

Roared at what had made them dear to tremors
