1. Alas son of Akme what do you want
From the quivering coward who is turning tail?
١. فَوَيحَ اِبنِ أَكمَةَ ماذا يُريد
مِنَ المُرعَشِ الذاهِبِ الأَدرَدِ
2. I swear if I had any strength left
His fleeing ribs would quake in dread.
٢. فَأُقسِمُ لَو أَنَّ بي قُوَّةً
لَوَلَّت فَرائُصُهُ تُرعِدِ
3. Oh how I wish I had with me
The strength of the roaring mighty dragon.
٣. وَيا لَهفَ نَفسِيَ أَلّا تَكون
مَعي قَوَّةُ الشارِخِ الأَمرَدِ
