And Amr ibn Ajlān, whom Hind killed,
١. وفى عُروةَ العُذرِىِّ إِن مِتُّ أُسوَةٌ

And a heat in the intestines that has no coolness?

3. And the overflowing of the eye at sunset with tears whenever
A sign appeared from your land that did not used to appear.
٣. وَفَيضُ غُرُوبِ العَينِ بِالدّمعِ كُلَّما
