He saw the enemies, some close, some distant,

رأى العداة ومنهم من دنا ونأى

1. He saw the enemies, some close, some distant,
So he used the sword against the aggressors, and the pen against the others,

١. رأى العُداةَ ومنهم من دنا ونأى
فاستعملَ الماضيين السيفَ والقلَما

2. Neither those who fled across the land could escape,
Nor those who came desiring peace instead of war

٢. فلا الذي فَرَّ منهُم في البلادِ نَجَا
ولا الذي جاء يبغي حربَهُ سَلما
