1. The stones cracked as Daris let out a cry,
And they did not stand firm when faced with sharp swords.
١. تَصَدَّعَتِ الجَعراءُ إِذ صاحَ دارِسٌ
وَلَم يَصبِروا عِندَ السُيوفِ الصَوارِمِ
2. May God reward Qais for blaming Adi,
And target the lowest of those who stay loyal.
٢. جَزى اللَهُ قَيساً عَن عَدِيٍّ مَلامَةً
وَخَصَّ بِها الأَدنَينَ أَهلَ المَلاوِمِ
3. They killed their master and their leader,
And did not stand steadfast in death during battle.
٣. هُمُ قَتَلوا مَولاهُمُ وَأَميرَهُم
وَلَم يَصبِروا لِلمَوتِ عِندَ المَلاحِمِ
