Death came for you from far-off lands,
Death has come to you from distant lands,
at the hand of a broad-shouldered warrior in a rent battle-shirt,
Borne by a man with a tattered tunic and massive shoulders,
أَخيa man of العُرفِkindness وَالإِنكارِand severity يَعلوكَstrikes down upon you وَقعَةًa single blow
أَخي العُرفِ وَالإِنكارِ يَعلوكَ وَقعَةً
بِأَبيَضَwith a gleaming sword سَقّاطٍcleaving through وَراءَbeyond الضَرائِبِthe parts struck
بِأَبيَضَ سَقّاطٍ وَراءَ الضَرائِبِ
a man of bounty and stern reprisal, whose stroke descends upon you
A man of kindness and severity, striking you a blow
with a gleaming sword so keen it falls beyond whatever it strikes.
With a gleaming sword that cleaves clean through its targets.
