1. Do you not see that I am a patient man
When a person does not care for patience
١. أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّني رَجُلٌ صَبورٌ
إِذا ما المَرءُ لَم يَهمُم بِصَبرِ
2. And that after capturing Hudhayfa
I was generous with him after taking him prisoner
٢. وَأَنّي بِالذَنائِبِ يَومَ خَوٍّ
مَنَنتُ عَلى حُذَيفَةَ بَعدَ أَسرِ
3. If another had brought him prisoner
He would have gained the desires of a lifetime with him
٣. وَلَو غَيري يَجيءُ بِهِ أَسيراً
لَنالَ بِهِ رَغيبةَ ذُخرِ دَهرِ
4. But I was generous and he was worthy
Of the honor I bestowed, the son of Badr
٤. وَلَكِنّي مَنَنتُ وَكانَ أَهلاً
لِما أَولَيتُ في حَملِ بِن بَدرِ
