1. In a position of justice and scrutinizing eyes
And ears inclined to the verdict being passed

2. Came the case of Souk Al-Arba’a and what
Pain it concealed that appeared as pain

3. After half a year elapsed, counted
For the freed criminal guarded and respected

4. While the victims in Bessa’a around them
Were children with burning livers aflame

5. And while the people were irate and split
From what pained and what brought about boredom

6. Came the case's resolution in our account
Like its beginning with tragedy it concludes

7. In what they ruled for the criminal is a lesson
And the judgers even if they wronged you they are

8. If they freed him, a rhyme has been freed
In which he is restricted until the ruins are rebuilt

9. Doumanfal, enough for the colonists is him
As a moral they marveled at its making, the nations

10. This one who relished torture in Anab
And judgments were extracted from them, the accusations

11. With the workers he came on that day to do
A deed which had no pity in it or covenants

12. Stripping them naked, a shuddering sparrow
Crucified while the scorching heat consumed

13. And the plucked children, the lamp of their season
In the neighborhood what wrong did they do tell me, and what sin did they commit

14. No sooner did their guardian sense the calamity
Than they substituted the bird’s wing, but froze

15. They turned to face them, tears streaming
While the brutal master above the platform smiled

16. And the people, when the news reached their ears
Their voices rose in anger like clashing waves

17. This talk which the lawyer publicly recounted
During the trial, even if they were silenced

18. Despite the defense, despite the truth and arguments
Which were offered when said, the words

19. They said enough is the fine as compensation and consolation
While the money is borrowed and the wound bandaged

20. I called but the tongue of the state says
If you are not indignant, God will avenge
