1. سَتَشهَدُ لِي بِالكَرِّ وَالطَعنِ رايَةٌ

    حَبانِيَ بِها الطُهرُ النَبِيُّ المُهَذِّبُ

    A banner shall bear witness to my charges and spear-thrusts,

    which the pure, ennobling Prophet bestowed upon me.

  2. وَتَعلَمُ أَنّي في الحُروبِ إِذا اِلتَظى

    بنِيرانِها اللَيثُ الهَموسُ المُرَجَّبُ

    And it knows that in wars, when battle blazes

    with their fires, I am the stealthy lion held in awe.

  3. وِمثلِيَ لاقى الهَولَ في مُفظِعاتِهِ

    وَفَلَّ لَهُ الجَيشُ الخَميسُ العَطَبطَبُ

    And one like me has faced terror in its dreadful forms,

    and the vast, five-division army broke before him.

  4. وَقَد عَلِمَ الأَحياءُ أَنّي زَعيمُها

    وَأَنّي لَدى الحَربِ العَذيقُ المُرَجِّبُ

    And the clans know full well that I am their leader,

    and that in war I am the propped-up little date palm.
