1. ألا أَبلِغ أَبَا إسحَاقَ أَنِّى

    رَأَيتُ البُلقَ دُهماً مُصمَتَاتِ

    Listen! Tell Abu Ishaq that I

    Saw the piebald horses, solid black.

  2. كَفَرتُ بِوَحيِكُم وَجَعَلتُ نَذراً

    عَلىّ قِتَالَكُم حَتّى المُمَاتِ

    I rejected your revelation and made a vow

    Binding me to fight you until death.

  3. أرى عَينَىَّ مَا لَم تَرأَيَاهُ

    كِلاَنَا عَالِمٌ بِالتُّرَّهَاتِ

    I make my eyes see what they have not seen;

    Both of us are familiar with such nonsense.

  4. إِذا قَالُوا أَقُولُ لَهُم كَذَبتُم

    وَإِن خَرَجُوا لَبِستُ لهم أَدَاتى

    When they speak, I tell them, "You have lied."

    And if they march out, I don my battle gear to face them.
