1. وَآلُ مُزَيقِياءَ وَقَد تَداعَت

    حَلائِبُهُم لَنا حَتّى قَرينا

    And as for the house of Muzayqiya, when there had rallied

    Their allied bands against us, until we offered them hospitality,

  2. صَبَرنا بِالسُيوفِ لَهُم وَكانَت

    مَعاقِلُنا بِهِنَّ إِذا عَصينا

    We stood firm against them with swords, and

    Our strongholds lay in those swords whenever we rose in defiance.

  3. وَغادَرنا قَريعَهُمُ صَريعا

    عَوائِدُهُ سباع يَعتَفينا

    And we left their champion lying slain,

    His visitors beasts of prey that come seeking sustenance.
