1. أَسَرناهُم وَأَنعَمنا عَلَيهِم

    وَأَسقَينا دِماءَهُمُ التُرابا

    We took them captive and bestowed favors upon them,

    And gave the soil their blood to drink.

  2. فَما صَبَروا لِبَأسٍ عِندَ حَربٍ

    وَلا أَدَّوا لِحُسنِ يَدٍ ثَوابا

    Yet they did not stand firm against an onslaught in war,

    Nor did they repay a kindly hand.
