We Visit Dwellings We Did Not Love Its Views Poem by Abu at-Tayyib al-Mutanabbi

Visited such dwellings we did not love at all its views.
We ask the prince to raid it once he hears our news
We wish our swift horses rushed violently to defeat.
Riding on by experienced warriors did not beat.
Soon we will beat (Abu al- Hassan) and remove the shame.
To satisfy our God, God who had not any surname.
The stubborn Roman knowing that we are truthful men.
If we had left their land behind us, we shall be back again.
If the death calls us soon we will go ahead.
We wear our armors and girding our sword.
