1. وَقَد تَرَكَت صَوارِمُهُم بِحِجرٍ

    وَقائِعَ مِن دِماءِ بَني عِقالِ

    And their keen swords have left at Ḥijr

    pools of blood from the sons of ʿIqāl.

  2. وَما ضَلَّت ضَلالَهُمُ بِحِجرٍ

    سَقيطَةُ جَندَلٍ بَينَ الرِجالِ

    Nor was ever lost, as they were lost at Ḥijr,

    a fallen fragment of stone among men.
