رَداهُمْ علِى عشْرين بِالجرِّ سَبْعةٌ

رَداهُمْ علِى عشْرين بِالجرِّ سَبْعةٌ

فَكُنْتُ ولَوْ قاتَلْتُهمْ غَيْرَ غالِبِ

فَكُنْتُ ولَوْ قاتَلْتُهمْ غَيْرَ غالِبِ

At al-Jarr, they numbered seven more than twenty;

Seven drove back twenty in battle,

So, even had I fought them, I would not have prevailed.

Though had I fought, I'd not have won.
