1. لَم تَعرِفِ الخَيلُ العُرابُ سَواءَنا

    عَشِيَّةَ أَغواثٍ بِجَنبِ القَوادِسِ

    The purebred Arabian horses knew none but us,

    On the evening of Aghwath, beside al-Qawadis.

  2. عَشَيَّةَ رُحنا بِالرِماحِ كَأَنَّها

    عَلى القَومِ أَلوانُ الطُيورِ الرَسارِسِ

    That evening we set out with spears, as though they were

    Above the foe, the colors of flitting birds.
