1. لقد فُجعَ الإسلامُ منهُ بناصرٍ

    كما فُجعَ الأيتامُ منه بوالدِ

    Indeed, Islam was bereaved of a champion in him,

    just as the orphans were bereaved of a father in him.

  2. بكتْهُ اليتامى والأيامَى وأَعوَلتْ

    عليهِ الأسارَى خائباتِ المواعدِ

    The orphans and widows wept for him, and wailed

    over him the captives, their promised hopes dashed.
