1. The day I was defeated brought me disgrace
And I became an oppressor, oppressed

2. My oppression was killing Sarah, daughter of Badr's sons
And after them I was left bereaved

3. So I made the lances fertile from the mouths of the people
And to onlookers they were stars

4. My only revenge was on Malik bin Zuheir
Among them it was known

5. So I killed them all out of fear of losing a child
I was certainly bloodthirsty

6. My oppression and their oppression yesterday
Was tremendous and their view blemished

7. The people slapped Dahis fearing his early arrival
Dahis was certainly ill-fated

8. They wronged us by killing him and we wronged
A group whose day was destined

9. A neighbor surely has rights with the tiger
And the fleeing prey immense safety

10. The neighbor is safe among them and you see
One with meekness and generality

11. He fills his bucket before his neighbor, the tiger’s bucket
And the basin of their neighbor is not demolished
