1. When he walks under his banner,
His stance and gaze are a spear and a sword,
١. وألوى إذا ما سار تحت لوائه
فقامته واللحظ رمحٌ ولهذمُ
2. And if his eyelids' swords were not magic,
They would not have wounded my heart, with blood on his cheek,
٢. ولو لم تكن سحراً سيوف جفونهِ
لما جرحت قلبي وفي خدّهِ الدم
3. And what amazes me more is that the mirror of his face,
I face it crying blood while it smiles.
٣. وأعجبُ منها أنَّ مرآة وجههِ
أقابلها أبكي دماً وهي تبسم
