1. ذَكَرتَ القَرومَ الصيدَ مِن آلِ هاشِمٍ

    وَلَستَ لِزورٍ قُلتَهُ بِمُصيبِ

    You mentioned the proud chieftains of the house of Hashim,

    but you are not right in the falsehood you uttered.

  2. أَتَعجَبُ إِن أَقصَدتَ حَمزَةَ مِنهُمُ

    نَجيباً وَقَد سَمَّيتَهُ بِنَجيبِ

    Do you marvel if you have slain Hamza, one of them—

    a noble man, when you have already called him noble?

  3. أَلَم يَقتُلوا عَمراً وَعُتبَةَ وَاِبنُهُ

    وَشَيبَةَ وَالحَجّاجَ وَاِبنَ حَبيبِ

    Did they not kill Amr, Utba, and his son,

    and Shayba, al-Hajjaj, and the son of Habib,

  4. غَداةَ دَعا العاصي عَلِيّاً فَراعَهُ

    بِضَربَةِ عَضبٍ بَلَّهُ بِخَضيبِ

    on the morning al-Asi challenged Ali, who terrified him

    with a blow of a sharp sword that he drenched in blood?
