فَماso, not أَناI الاexcept مِثلlike سيِّقةa beast driven off as spoil العداthe enemies
فَما أَنا الا مِثل سيِّقة العدا
انif اِستَقدَمتit advances نَحرَslaughter وَانand if جَبَأتit draws back عقرhamstringing
ان اِستَقدَمت نَحرَ وَان جَبَأت عقر
So I am nothing but like a beast driven off by enemies:
I walk behind the pack, just like a camel at the rear
If it advances, it is slaughtered; and if it draws back, it is hamstrung.
Whether first to lead the caravan, or last to end the trail
