1. News, in a moment or two,
Circulated the world and shook the two easts

2. News, if it were the whisper of two lips
A year ago, it was said: commotion and calamity!

3. And you see a nation on both banks
That it was the fetus of “both worlds”

4. Mussolini! Where are you today? Where?
A dream? Or a story? Or in between?

5. The palace of “Venice” dedicates to you today
The curse of the “balcony” in proximity and distance

6. Strange! O you challenger
How did the fall of the rebel elevate you?

7. Your emperor is worried and sleepy
Shouting in his night as if it would help:

8. Where, O “Knight”, I wish you were a soldier?
Where, I wish you were my sultan and glory?

9. Did you give up power? Or was it an escape
After you surrounded me with destruction?

10. You were led to the small massacre
After you had destroyed the great in war

11. Oh how confused they are in the orbit of death
They went as dead, wounded, and prisoners

12. Filling the air with dust in their run
And filling the desert with graves

13. Did the story elevate over “Somalia” or “Addis Ababa”
Or build domes, or saw mirages of glory on the Nile

14. Banks and marshes
So you drove the army flags of wonder

15. Why did this army melt away in the desert?
The sun melted it so it turned to clouds

16. When it thought victory was in its grasp
O father of “shirts”, collectively and individually

17. Did your black shirts protect the countries?
Why did you prefer blackness from colors?

18. Its blackness was like mourning over the people
You came with clothes symbolizing hostility

19. What people became mighty by dress and ruled?
It is the spirit, youthful and ignited

20. Not artificially but with certainty and belief
Mussolini! Stand at the gates of Rome

21. And observe it long and drawing
Stand, remember it in the past as stars

22. And watch it today as stoning
You ignited around you in the land the firewood

23. Chasing your angry and evil devil
Or was that “Rome” or “Sodom”

24. The day it tasted your sins and hell?
It tasted from the hand of God a revenge

25. For the sins of “Khalid” year after year
The day it poured blood over Beirut

26. It did not spare an old man or have mercy on a boy
From a ship filling the sea with roaring!

27. How much that fleet flared up in fury
Where has it gone today? Did it seek peace?

28. Or has it slept then napped on the coast?
What soft appearance aggression

29. With shedding forbidden blood and tears
When your flying squadrons circled feverishly over (Alexandria)

30. Spreading death in a moonlit night!
Oh for Egypt! Do you see it did not take revenge

31. With the hand of the arrogant avenger?
Do you see it remembers? Or has it not recalled?!

32. Mussolini! You are not from a distant past
So remember “al-Mukhtar” and the martyred people

33. It is a spirit filling the East with anthem
And calling you, not stopping threats:

34. Mussolini! Take in your iron palms
The shackles prepared for your legs

35. Or place from you on the blade a vein
So my blood chokes you today hunted!!
