1. ما فوقَ ما نالت يدايَ به

    قَتلُ الملوكِ وسادَةِ الفُرسانِ

    Not beyond what my hands have achieved with it

    is the slaying of kings and the chiefs of horsemen.

  2. أَسمو إليهم كالهِزَبرِ سماحةً

    بالنفسِ منكَ لموقفِ الأَقرانِ

    I advance toward them like a lion, freely offering

    my life, thanks to you, to face my equals.

  3. ما رامَهُ أحدٌ سواك لأَنهم

    خافوا الرَّدى بحقائق المَيدانِ

    No one but you attempted it, for they

    feared death amid the realities of the battlefield.

  4. ولقد فَجَعتُ الفرسَ غيرَ مُذَمَّمٍ

    لمَّا طَغَوا بعنيدهم بُورانِ

    And indeed I bereaved the Persians, without reproach,

    when they grew insolent with their defiant champion, Buran.
