يحسبون الاحزاب لم يذهبوا وان يات الاحزاب يودوا لو انهم بادون في الاعراب يسالون عن انبائكم ولو كانوا فيكم ما قاتلوا الا قليلا

They think that the Confederates Have not withdrawn; and if The Confederates should come (again), They would wish they were In the deserts (wandering) Among the Bedouins, and Seeking news about you (From a safe distance); And if they were In your midst, they Would fight but little.
