1. Our refuge crumbled and the place was left in ruins
The lands around it laid bare and vacant

2. Until we poured on Hamdan a torrent
Of dogs' piss for they were nothing to us

3. So a day remained where we left no ones face or name
That we did not strike down in that place

4. Then we moved on and their wretchedness persisted
Until we flooded pipelines and cisterns

5. It was not our intent to harm without cause
But it came to pass as providence ordained

6. We sought the tribe of Banu Nahd and their kin
Though not by malice, but God willed Hamdan
