1. واذكُر تحمُّلَه الديارَ ولا تكنْ

    ليهودِ خيبرَ لا تكونَ نَسيّا

    And remember how he bore the dwellings, and do not be

    Forgetful of the Jews of Khaybar—do not be.

  2. حملَ الرتاجَ رتاجَ باب قَموصِها

    فحسبتَه يَمشي بها بُختيّا

    He bore the gate—the great door of its Qamus fortress—

    So you took him for a Bactrian camel as he walked with it.

  3. ما ردَّهُ سبعونُ حتى أُلهثوا

    سبعونُ مؤتنفَ الشبابِ قويّا

    Seventy did not put it back until they were left panting—

    Seventy strong men in the first bloom of youth.
