1. لقد مَنَعَ الفَرائضَ عن عُقَيلٍ

    بطَعنٍ تحتَ أَلوِيةٍ وضَربِ

    He indeed shielded ʿUqayl from the prescribed alms dues,

    with spear-thrusts beneath banners and blows.

  2. ترى منه المُصَدِّقَ يومَ وافَى

    أَطلَّ على معاشِرِهِ بصَلبِ

    You see the alms collector, at his hands, the day he arrived,

    looming over his clansmen, crucified.
