1. صَبَحنَ الخَيل مُرَّةَ مُسنَفاتٍ

    بِذي أُرُلٍ وَحَيَّ بَني نِجادِ

    The horses raided Murrah at dawn, their breast-straps fastened,

    At Dhu Urul, and the clan of Banu Nijad.

  2. وَيَوماً بِالبِطاحِ عَرَكنَ قَيساً

    غَداتَئِذٍ بِأَرماحٍ شِدادِ

    And one day at al-Bitah they battered Qays,

    That morning, with stout spears.

  3. وَيَوماً بِاليَمامَةِ قَد ذَبَحنا

    حَنيفَةَ مِثلَ تَذباحِ النِقادِ

    And one day at al-Yamamah we slaughtered

    Hanifah as small sheep are slaughtered.
