1. ألا إنني مولى لمن أنا عبدُه

    فأنصره عن أمرِه وأناضلُ

    Behold, I am an ally to the one whose servant I am.

    So I aid him at his command and do battle.

  2. وإنَّ سهامي لا تطيشُ وإنها

    تصيبُ إذا التفتْ عليّ القبائلُ

    And indeed my arrows do not stray, and indeed they

    hit their mark when the tribes gather against me.

  3. أقاتلهم بالسيفِ والحجةِ التي

    بها يدمغ القرن الكميِّ المنازل

    I fight them with the sword and the proof,

    by which the armored adversary who gives battle is crushed.
