ذَعَرْتُ بِجَوْسِ نَهْبَلَةٍ قَذَافٍ

ذَعَرْتُ بِجَوْسِ نَهْبَلَةٍ قَذَافٍ

مِنَ العِيدِيِّ بَاقِيَةِ القَتَالِ

مِنَ العِيدِيِّ بَاقِيَةِ القَتَالِ

I caused alarm with the roaming of a massive, swift she-camel,

I was startled by the raid of Qadafi's artillery

Of the ʿĪdī breed, still retaining her bodily strength.

Remaining from the battle of Eidiyya
