1. O son of my lady, make ready to go against a man who
Sees death as better than running away, and more honorable
١. تَعِستَ اِبنَ ذاتِ النَوفِ أَجهِز عَلى اِمرِئٍ
يَرى المَوتَ خَيراً مِن فِرارَ وَأَكرَما
2. And leave me not like the locust, for verily I
Am steadfast when misfortunes like you hesitate.
٢. وَلا تَترُكَنّي كَالخِشاشَةِ إِنَّني
صَبورٌ إِذا ما النِكسُ مِثلُكَ أَحجَما
