1. A heart that hardship does not bend
An eye whose slumber is ever brief

2. I have contended with misfortunes, so
Ugly deeds and fair now seem the same to me

3. You made a promise to me one day, Amro
With words that had no proof of honesty

4. You will know which of us lies vanquished
Snatched by vultures and fierce hyenas

5. Whose wife will be led captive at eve and morn
Weeping with tears that freely spill

6. Do you recall Ubla and yet live on hale
While near her tent a formidable lion does prowl

7. You seek to meet me with your sword
That shatters even mountains firm and stout
