1. O you who saw the destroyer strutting
In a dusty, disfigured cone
١. يا مَن رَأى الدامِرَ يَختالُ في
شاشيَّةٍ شَوهاءَ مُغبَرَّه
2. People rose from the curser
Saying "You disfigured, shame on you"
٢. مَرَّ فَقامَ الناسُ مِن لاعِنٍ
وَقائِلٍ شَوَّهتَ يا عُرَّه
3. And he appeared breaking his gaze
As if he were a rooster with a peck
٣. وَقَد تَجَلّى كاسِراً طَرفَهُ
كَأَنَّهُ ديكٌ بِهِ نَقرَه
