1. قَتَلنا خَمسَةً وَرَموا نُعَيما

    وَكانَ القَتلُ لِلفِتيانِ زَينا

    We killed five, and they shot Nuʿaym.

    And being slain was an adornment for young men.

  2. لَعَمرُ الباكِياتِ عَلى نُعَيمٍ

    لَقَد جَلَّت رَزِيَّتُهُ عَلَينا

    By the lives of the women weeping for Nuʿaym,

    His loss has indeed been grievous to us.

  3. فَلا تَبعُد نُعَيمُ فَكُلُّ حَيٍّ

    سَيَلقى مِن صُروفِ الدَهرِ حَينا

    So be not far away, Nuʿaym, for every living being

    Will meet death through the vicissitudes of time.
