لَو أَنَّ أَصحابي بَنو خُناعَه

لَو أَنَّ أَصحابي بَنو خُناعَه

اَهلُ النَدى وَالجودِ وَالبَراعَه

اَهلُ النَدى وَالجودِ وَالبَراعَه

If my companions were the sons of Khunāʿah,

Men of bounty, generosity, and prowess,

الحامِلو السُيوفِ وَالقَرّاعَه

الحامِلو السُيوفِ وَالقَرّاعَه

لَمَنَعوا مِن هَذِهِ اليَراعَه

لَمَنَعوا مِن هَذِهِ اليَراعَه

Bearers of swords and shields,

They would surely have protected me from this serpent.
