1. سَتَأتينا حِسَينَةُ حَيثُ شِئنا

    وَإِن رَغِمَت أُنوفُ بَني يَسارِ

    Hisayna will come to us wherever we wish,

    Even if the noses of the sons of Yasār are rubbed in dust.

  2. لَقَد ظَلَّت تُعاوِنُني عَلَيهِم

    صَموتُ الحِجلِ كاظِمَةُ السِوارِ

    She has indeed kept helping me against them—

    She whose anklet is silent, who stills her bracelet.

  3. وَقَد غادَرتُ عيسى وَهُوَ كَلبٌ

    يُقَطِّعُ سَلحَهُ خَلفَ الجِدارِ

    And I have left ʿĪsā, a dog,

    Passing his dung bit by bit behind the wall.
