1. Did I not bring you news that came to me
From Abu Al-Kisaah, whom threats have vexed?
١. أَلَم أُخبِرِكُما خَبَراً أَتاني
أَبو الكِساحِ جَدَّبَهُ الوَعيدُ
2. That they have torn my honor into shreds
The scoundrels of Karmela, for whom my blood is their ransom
٢. أَتاني أَنَّهُم مَزِقونَ عِرضي
جِحاشُ الكِرملَينِ لَها فَديدُ
