1. The crow croaked, would that it had not croaked
By the desolation of Salma and Umm Al-Hawshab
١. نَعَبَ الغُرابُ وَلَيتَهُ لَم يَنعَبِ
بِالبَينِ مِن سَلمى وَأُمِّ الحَوشَبِ
2. Would that the crow had cast the contents of its heart
Like 'Amr with his arrows that were never defeated
٢. لَيتَ الغُراب رَمى حَماطَةَ قَلبِهِ
عَمرٌو بِأَسهُمِهِ الَّتي لَم تُغلَبِ
