1. وَيَوماً بِتامَرّا وَلَو كُنتَ شاهِداً

    رَأَيتَ بِتامَرّا دِماءَهُم تَجري

    And one day at Tamarra—had you been present,

    you would have seen their blood flowing at Tamarra.

  2. وَأَحفيتُ بَشراً يَومَ ذَلِكَ طَعنَةً

    دُوَينَ التَراقي فَاِستَهَلُّوا عَلى بِشرِ

    And that day I sorely assailed Bishr with a spear-thrust

    just below the collarbones; then they cried aloud over Bishr.
