1. If one would liken poppies to slain women's cries
Dressed in blood-drenched gowns, hideously arrayed
١. مَنْ شَاءَ تَشْبيهَ الشّقائِقِ فَلْيَقُلْ
كَنِسَاءِ قَتْلَى قَدْ خَرَجْنَ صَوائحا
2. With hair let loose, they stand lamenting, wailing aloud
٢. أُلْبِسْنَ أَثْوابَ الدِّماءِ شَنَاعَةً
ونَشَرْنَ شَعْراً ثُمَّ قُمْنَ نَوائحا
