1. He left Ahvaz behind his back
While Zayd was beyond the Zab in the land of Kaskar
١. لَقَد خَلَّفَ الأَهوازَ مِن خَلفِ ظَهرِهِ
وَزَيدٌ وَراءَ الزابِ مِن أَرضِ كَسكَرِ
2. Ismail terrifies with eggs and spears
And he fled from Zayd, son of Musa, son of Ja'far
٢. يُهَوِّلُ إِسماعيلُ بِالبيضِ وَالقَنا
وَقَد فَرَّ مِن زَيَدِ اِبنِ موسى اِبنِ جَعفَرِ
3. I saw him on the day he deserted his women
Oh how ugly of him yet beautiful to behold
٣. وَعايَنتُهُ في يَومِ خَلّى حَريمَهُ
فَيا قُبحَها مِنهُ وَيا حُسنَ مَنظَرِ
