Mirdas also said: | ||
:Since you have made Khalid chief of the army | |||
:And promoted him he has become a chief indeed | |||
:In an army guided by God whose commander you are | |||
:By which you smite the wicked with every right. | |||
:I swore a true oath to Muhammad | |||
:And I fulfilled it with a thousand bridled horses. | |||
:The prophet of the believers said, Advance! | |||
:And we rejoiced that we were the vanguard. | |||
:We passed the night at the pool of Mustadir; | |||
:There was no fear in us but desire and preparedness (for war). | |||
:We obeyed you till all the enemy surrendered | |||
:And until in the morning we overtook the crowd, the people of Yalamlam. | |||
:The piebald steed with reddish barrel went astray' | |||
:And the chief was not content till it was marked. | |||
:We attacked them like a flock of grouse the morning affrights. | |||
:Everyone was too concerned to see to his fellow, | |||
:From morn till eve till we left Hunayn | |||
:With its watercourses streaming with blood. | |||
:Wherever you looked you could see a fine mare | |||
:And its rider lying beside a broken lance. | |||
:Hawazin had recovered their herds from us | |||
:And it pleased them that we should be disappointed and deprived (of them).}} | |||
