Here's the quote in context:

   nIteb chegh molor ngIq ghoqwI'
      joqwI''e' cha'bogh qeylIS
      luDel 'e' ra' molor
   lujang meQboghnom 'oH
      yeqchuqchu'taHghach
      Daw' je joqwI'

   One by one Molor's scouts return, 
      He asks them which banner
      Kahless marches under
   They reply it is the {meQboghnom}
      The banner of unity
      and revolution 

Another example from the paq'batlh:

   nuH'e' qengbogh mangghomvam
      luDel 'e' ra' molor
      lujang maS'e' loQ So'be'bogh QIb lurur
   Molor asks them
      What weapons this army carries,
      They reply, shaped as the crescent moon.
