And when I saw the chiefs of my people
When I saw the dwellings of my people
motionless, with no leader returning to them,
In stillness, with no chief to lead them,
هتفتI called out بمسمعto Mismaʿ وصدىand the echo of أميرٍAmīr

وقبرِ معمّرٍ تلك القروم
I called out to Mismaʿ and Amīr’s echo,
I called out loud, my voice echoing,
and to Muʿammar’s grave—those mighty chiefs.
To the tomb of the late commander, and those hills.
