I heard something strange

لقد سمعت عجيبا

1. I heard something strange
From the ruins of Ukhamir

١. لَقَد سَمِعتُ عَجيباً
مِن آبِداتِ يُخامِر

2. A boy was reciting
Surat Taha and Surat Ghafir

٢. قَرا عَلَيهِ غُلامٌ
طَهَ وَسورَةَ غافِر

3. He said "Who said this?
This is surely a poet."

٣. فَقالَ مَن قالَ هَذا
هَذا لِعَمرِيَ شاعِر

4. I wanted to slap his cheek
But feared the shout of an oppressor

٤. أَرَدتُ صَفعَ قَفاهُ
فَخِفتُ صَولَةَ جائِر

5. One day I brought a goat
Looking proud and swaggering

٥. أَتَيتُ يَوماً بِتَيسٍ
مُستَعبِراً مُتَحاسِر

6. I said "Stand up and slaughter it"
It said "I am Ukhamir"

٦. فَقُلتُ قوموا اِذبَحوهُ
فَقالَ إِنّي يُخامِر
