1. If eggs were smashed against the skulls,
Or faces blackened among the tribes,
١. لَو أُرهِفَتِ البيضُ لِحَزِّ الهامِ
أَو سُوِّدَت الوجوهُ في الأَقوامِ
2. And we plunged into the darkness easily,
We would come to you like pens on heads.
٢. واستَيسر خوضُنا دُجى الإِظلامِ
جِئناكَ عَلى الرؤوسِ كالأَقلامِ
