We are those whose sword-edges slew
We are the first who wished the swords' hilts
Dawud between al-Burqatayn and Harib.
To meet David between the two hosts and fight

خَطَرتْ عليه رماحُنا فتركْنه

لما شَرَعْنَ له كأمسِ الذاهب
Our spears swayed over him and left him,
Our spears threatened him and left him
when leveled at him, like yesterday gone by.
When we opened the way for him yesterday eve
وكذاكَand thus إناindeed we لاnot تزالُcease رماحُناour spears
وكذاكَ إنا لا تزالُ رماحُنا
تنفيrepel العِداfoes وتُفيدُand secure رُغٌبَwhat is desired الراغبِby the seeker
تنفي العِدا وتُفيدُ رُغٌبَ الراغبِ
And thus, indeed, our spears never cease
And so our spears still
to repel foes and secure what the seeker desires.
Repel enemies and fulfill a suitor's hopes
