1. لَقَد أَوقَعَ البَقّالُ بِالفَقي وَقعَةً

    سَيَرجِعُ إِن ثابَت إِلَيهِ جَلائِبُه

    Al-Baqqal has indeed struck a blow at al-Faqi.

    He will return if his gathered troops rally back to him.

  2. فَإِن كانَ ظَنّي صادِقاً يَا اِبنَ هانِئ

    فَأَيّامَئِذ تُرحَل لِحَربٍ جَنائِبُه

    So if my surmise is true, O son of Hani,

    then, in those days, his spare mounts will be saddled for war.

  3. أَبا مُسلِمٍ لا خَيرَ في العَيشِ أَو يَكُن

    لِقُران يَومٌ لا تُوارى كَواكِبُه

    O Abu Muslim, there is no good in life unless there is

    for Qurān a day whose stars are not veiled.
