1. The virgins weep with the wailing of women
With tears of sorrow overflowing

2. As if the best of all men, repentance itself
Did not dry their shirts that scrape the pebbles

3. If the slain are a disgrace, then you
Did not kill the best of Awf ibn Amir’s family

4. A man who was more alive than any lively girl
And bolder than a lion with broken canines
