قد أوعدتنا معدٌّ ، وهي كاذبةٌ

نَصرا ، فكانَ لَها مِيعادُ عُرقُوبِ

The distributor promised us victory, but she is a liar

A triumph, yet her appointment was with misfortune

وقَد نُقَدِّمُ في الهَيجاءِ إِذ لَقِحَتْ

يَومَ الحِفاظ ، ونَحمي كلَّ مَكرُوبِ

And we may present ourselves amidst the excitement when she was impregnated

The day she was pregnant, and we protect every afflicted one

يهوي ، إذا الخيلُ جازته وثارَ لها

هَوِيَّ سَجلٍ ، مِنَ العَلياءِ مَصبوبِ

He plummets, when the horses pass him and rise for them

Plunging from the heights, pouring from the lofty summit

زرقاً أسنَّتها ، حمراً ، مثقَّفةً

أطرافهنَّ مقيلٌ لليعاسيبِ

Their tips blue, red, stained

Their edges inclined towards the buzzards

حامِي الحَقِيقةِ ، لا تُخشَى كَهامتُهُ

يَسقي الأَعادِيَ مَوتا غَيرَ تَقشيبِ

Defender of the truth, his zeal is not feared

He waters the enemies with death without reservation
