1. وَيَومٍ كَتَنّورِ الإِمامِ سَجَرنَهُ

    وَأَلقَينَ فيهِ الجَزلَ حَتّى تَضَرَّما

    And many a day like the imam’s oven, which they had stoked

    and fed with thick firewood until it blazed,

  2. رَمَيتُ بِنَفسي في أَجيجِ سمومِهِ

    وَبِالعَنسِ حَتّى صَبَّ مَنسِمُها دَما

    I hurled myself into the blaze of its scorching wind,

    and the sturdy she-camel, until her footpad streamed blood.
