1. يا رب سابغة حبتنى نعمة

    كافأتها بالسوء غير مفند

    Ah, many a full coat of mail has bestowed a favor upon me,

    Which I repaid with harm, yet without reproach.

  2. أضحت تصون عن المنايا مهجتي

    وظللت أبذ لها كل مهند

    It came to guard my lifeblood against death,

    While I kept offering it every sword of Indian steel.
