1. يا عَينُ جودي بِالدُموعِ وَبِالدِما

    أَسَفاً عَلى عُلَمائِنا أَهلَ العَمَلِ

    O eye, shed tears and blood freely,

    In sorrow for our scholars, people of action.

  2. ما زالَ سَيفُ الحَتفِ يَنحو نَحوَهُم

    حَتّى اِنتَهى لِلرَأسِ وَاِنقَطَعَ الأَمَلِ

    The sword of death kept moving toward them,

    Until it reached the head and hope was cut off.
