1. كتاب مصارع من جهزت

    بظلمٍ عليه النوى جندها

    The book of the deaths of those against whom

    separation unjustly mustered its troops—

  2. جمعناه لما سقانا الهوى

    أفاويق لم نستطع ردها

    we compiled it when love gave us

    draughts we could not refuse.

  3. وسقنا أحاديث من جاوزت

    به فجعات النوى حدها

    And we recounted tales of those for whom

    the calamities of separation exceeded their bounds.
