1. وَيَومَ شِباكِ الدَومِ دانَت لِدَينِنا

    قُضاعَةُ لَو يُنجي الذَليلَ التَحَوُّبُ

    And on the day of Shibāk al-Dawm, to our rule submitted

    Quḍāʿah—if lamentation could save the humbled.

  2. أُقيمَ لَهُم بِالقاعِ قاعِ بَلاكِثٍ

    إِلى ذَنَبِ الجَزلاءِ يَومٌ عَصَبصَبُ

    For them was brought about, on the plain—the plain of Balākith—

    as far as the tail of al-Jazlāʾ, a day of fierce hardship.
