1. يا رب سابغة حبتني نعمة

    كافأتها بالسوء غير مفندِ

    Oh, many a full-length coat of mail has granted me a boon;

    I repaid it with harm, yet was not deemed foolish.

  2. أضحت تصون عن المنايا مهجتي

    وظللت أبذلها لكل مهند

    It came to shield my lifeblood from death,

    while I kept exposing it to every sword of Indian steel.
