1. They say that Saif al-Din, for the sake of his intellect
Has abandoned you, so do not feel safe from the pitfalls of his hatred
١. يَقولونَ سيفُ الدِّينِ من أجلِ عقلهِ
جَفاكَ فلا تأَمَنْ غوائلَ حقده
2. I said to them "O people, I am not ignorant
So as to deliberately put my neck between the sword and its sheath"
٢. فقلت لهم يا قومُ ما أنا جاهلٌ
فأدخلَ بينَ السيفِ عمداً وغمدهِ
