1. Tell Ziyad when a man realizes
Though he may gather provisions or be cautious

2. You were forced by fear of Layla into the cold
Choosing it as a refuge from the clashing of blades

3. Until you met the son of the cave of vileness in a rugged valley
Who drives away the little birds and ferocious ravens

4. If you unite the group in anger or what the whisperers incited
Then you are the scattered one fleeing

5. So now spread amongst people you tricked
The sons of illusion and leave the son of Sayyar

6. He had come as an envoy of people and brought them along
And his afflicted one found solace amongst the people of Dhi Qar
