1. قَتَلنا يَزيدَ بنَ عَبدِ المَدانِ

    عَلى غَيرِ جُرمٍ وَلَم نَظلِمِ

    We killed Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-Madān,

    for no crime, and we did no wrong,

  2. بِأَعوى وَيَومَ لَقَيناهُمُ

    بِأَرعَنَ ذي لَجَبٍ مُبهِمِ

    at Aʿwā, and on the day we met them,

    with a vast host, full of bewildering clamor.
