I removed from you guards after guards

2. I see a bear from the days that passed
With youth that had no attribute of a bear

3. And I confess I am lost and ignorant
Even if I exerted in searching and studying

4. He prepares land and I plant in it trees
So my arm fails me and my trees stand

5. We found the two young men destroyed
The kings of earth among Arabs and Persians

6. And the righteous are not like them, but
They are the two lions seeking their prey

7. Everyone who fears death will meet
So remove your heavy coat of mail and shield

8. We have a Lord without equal
His command makes a mountain bow and kneel

9. The sun remains humble before Him
So what is Bilqis or the Sitt of Burj

10. A decree outlined which the pens did not
With skill and was not kept in leather

11. The wedding feast of the two with their son an enemy
Less harmful than the son of a groom

12. They did cast you in fatigue and worry
A newborn came between blood and planting

13. The two young men are but like sleeping
Of the youth beneath soil and covered

14. Difficulties came alike so the garment
Of Labis and Burj's shirt did not differ

15. Nor was the prince fed as he was raised
Delicate of partnership and aggressive

16. As if the wedding songs were Noah's weeping
And the voices of mourners the joy of the wed

17. I sleep, Oh world, ripe fruit
That does not remain for long

18. And if it remained, a remover would take it
With the mischief of time, foreigner or biter

19. And Ibn Az-Zubair has no sound opinion
If he turns away from guidance with hesitation
