وَما صَدَّ عَنّي خالِدٌ مِن بَقِيَّةٍ

وَما صَدَّ عَنّي خالِدٌ مِن بَقِيَّةٍ

وَلَكِن أَتَت دوني الأُسودُ الهَواصِرُ

وَلَكِن أَتَت دوني الأُسودُ الهَواصِرُ

Khalid did not hold back from me out of mercy;

Nor did Khalid turn away from me out of mercy;

but the prey-crushing lions came between him and me.

rather, the crushing lions came between him and me.
