1. Had Sa'd feared you on the day of Mecca
He would have caused more deaths amongst you before imprisonment could be faced
١. لَو كانَ سَعدٌ يَومَ مَكَّةَ خافَكُم
لَأَكثَرَ فيكُم قَبلَ أَن يُؤسَرَ القَتلا
2. With a sharp raging sword or a well-honed spearhead
That yearns when unsheathed to set arrows flying
٢. بِعَضبٍ حُسامٍ أَو بِصَفراءَ نَبعَةٍ
تَحِنُّ إِذا ما أُنبِضَت تَحفِزُ النَبلا
