1. Ka'b still sheds tears
Mourning the slain, though he cannot hear.

2. I saw in the valley of Badr among them
Corpses washed by tears that flow and fall.

3. Weep, for you wept over an infant
Who clung to his wet nurse as one in thrall.

4. The Merciful has healed for us a lord,
And shamed a people who attacked and slew.

5. He escaped, by speed outdistancing
The few left scattered, turned in disarray.

6. He escaped, whose heart in fear
Cleft, though courage it will not display.
