1. Indeed, Tamim bin Murr's patience and forbearance were mocked
The day Waqi' died though he was no weakling

2. And Waqi' was never one to waver when
The pangs of death appeared and fate was sealed

3. When heroes clashed his face you'd see shine bright
While coward necks in lowly bows were peeled

4. So patience, Tamim, death's but a fount we drink
Whether calm or weeping when our time's repealed
