1. خسرتْ عُصْبَةُ الفسادِ الرِّهانا

    سقطَتْ سيرةً ونهجاً وشانا

    The corrupt band lost the wager.

    It fell—in its conduct, its course, and its standing.

  2. حملتْ حلمَها تضاريس وهْم

    ثم عادتْ به مسَجَّى مُهانا

    The contours of illusion carried its dream,

    then it returned with that dream laid out and humiliated.

  3. حسبَتْ أنَّها ستصبحُ شيئاً

    وسيرخي لها الزمانُ العِنانا

    It thought it would become something,

    and time would give it free rein.

  4. أرضُنا موطنُ القداسات لا، لنْ

    تمْنَحَ القاتلين فيها الأمانا

    Our land is home to the sacred—no, it will not

    grant the killers safety within it.
