Ah, how long I shuffled in Malik's shackles!
How long did I drag my chains as Mâlik's slave
Then my shackles were transferred to his legs.
Till my chains on his feet were changed!

And al-Nadr, son of Amr, set me free; and many a time
But Nadr, Amr's son, has freed me,
with both his hands he has freed the shackled captive.
And with his own hands has unbound my arms.
