1. The chosen one flung his arrow at a deer
It pierced his heart with doubt and fear
١. قَد رَمَى المَهديُّ ظَبياً
شَكَّ بالسَّهم فؤادَه
2. And Ali, Sulayman's noble son
Let fly at a dog and down it came
٢. وَعَلِيُّ بنُ سُلَيمَا
نَ رَمَى كَلباً فَصَادَه
3. So blessed are they both, each man
Who eats what he has slain
٣. فَهَنِيئاً لَهُمَا كُلُّ
امرِئٍ يأكُلُ زادَه
