1. Over those killed at Ma'unah, begin
With tears flowing abundantly from the eye

2. Over the steeds of the Messenger when they met
Their fate, and fate met them with destiny

3. Ruin befell them by the rope of a people
Whose pledge of allegiance betrays with treachery

4. So, my anguish for the warner when he turned away
And stubbornly met his death with patience

5. The one fated the morning after their loss
From the heroic white lions of Amr's clan
