1. I left the women of Sa'ida, son of Murr
Their cries of grief at his place of slaughter.
١. تَرَكتُ نِساءَ ساعِدَةَ اِبنِ مُرَّ
لَهُنَّ لَدى مَزاحِفِهِ عَويلُ
2. I gathered both my hands on the hilt
Of the sword that delivers the fullest blow.
٢. جَمَعتُ لَهُ يَدَيَّ بِذي كُعوبٍ
يُقَدِّمُ نَصلَهُ أَظمى طَويلُ
3. I shook the joints of his ample frame;
His coat of mail was rent and pierced.
٣. شَكَكتُ بِهِ مَجامِعَ رُحبَيَيهِ
فَصارَ رِداؤُهُ مِنهُ طَميلُ
