1. Evil has prevailed, though we were wise, it was destined
The victim's blood-money brings honor to the killer
١. غَلَتِ الشُرورُ وَلَو عَقَلنا صُيَّرَت
دَيَّةُ القَتيلِ كَرامَةً لِلقاتِلِ
2. These are the ropes of the sun, yet they are frail
They have lasted, how many ropes has the destroyer outlived
٢. هَذي حِبالُ الشَمسِ وَهِيَ ضَعيفَةٌ
دامَت وَكَم أَبلَت حِبالَةَ خاتِلِ
