1. God cast the insolent out from their homes
Their hearts and homes grew narrow, their gains naught
١. رَمى اللَهُ بِالمُقتِرينَ البُيوتَ
فَضاقوا صُدوراً وَدوراً وَكَسبا
2. Yet being sword-like did not avail them
As on earth they were powerless to strike
٢. وَلَم يُغنِهِم أَنَّهُم كَالسُيوفِ
فَلا يَستَطيعونَ في الأَرضِ ضَربا
