1. وما موت إسماعيل موت مجاور

    إذا مات أبكى إبنا وأوحش منزلا

    And Ismail's death was not the death of a neighbor

    Who, when he dies, makes a son weep and leaves a home desolate.

  2. ولكنه موت رمى كل منزل

    بما أرمل الناشئين فيه وأثكلا

    Rather, his was a death that struck every home,

    Leaving the young within it destitute and bereaved.
