Tell Abu Hurmuz from me, bound in chains,

أبلغ أبا هرمز عني مغلغلة

1. Tell Abu Hurmuz from me, bound in chains,
And his sons Hudayya full of terror and alarm.

١. أَبلِغ أَبا هُرمُزٍ عَنّي مُغَلغَلَةً
وَاِبنَي حُدَيَّةَ صُعروراً وَفِرناسِ

2. You were not the first whose stone house was demolished
By a catapult with hooks tearing down your abode.

٢. ما كُنتَ أَوَّلَ ضاغٍ صَكَّهُ حَجَرٌ
أَلوَت بِهِ مَنجَنيقٌ ذاتُ أَمراسِ

3. You left your home when voracious fate assailed you,
Ravenous years with grinding teeth.

٣. أَبِعتَ بَيتَكَ إِذ عَضَّتكَ مُجحِفَةٌ
مِنَ السِنينَ عَوانٌ ذاتُ أَضراسِ
