1. Oh if only my horse had not been hobbled
On Khazundar's fateful day, and I erred
١. لَيتَ خَيلي يَومَ الخُجَندَةِ لَم تُه
زَم وَغودِرتُ في المَكَرِّ سَليبا
2. In strategy, unready, overwhelmed,
The birds would not flock round to mourn my death,
٢. تَحضُرُ الطَيرُ مَصرَعي وَتَرَوَّح
تُ إِلى اللَهِ في الدِماءِ خَضيبا
