1. لَهفاً عَلى البَيتِ المَعَدِّيِّ لَهفا

    مِن بَعدِ ما كانَ قَدِ اِستَكَفّا

    Alas for the Maʿaddite house, alas!

    After it had already come to fullness.

  2. وَلَو دَعا اللَهَ وَمَدَّ الكَفّا

    لَرَجَفَت مِنهُ الجِبالُ رَجفا

    And had he called upon God and stretched out his palm,

    The mountains would surely have quaked because of him.
