1. خَبِّر بَني الصَلتِ عَنّا إِن لَقيتَهُمُ

    أَنَّ الحَديدَ إِذا أَمسَيتُ غَنّاني

    Tell the sons of al-Ṣalt about us, if you meet them:

    that when evening overtakes me, iron sings to me.

  2. فَدونَكُم مالِكاً لا يُفلِتَنَّكُم

    فَمالِكٌ في حِياضِ المَوتِ دَلّاني

    Malik is yours, then—do not let him escape you;

    for Malik led me into the pools of death.
