وكِسرَى إذ تَقَسَّمَهُ بَنُوهُ

بِأَسَيافٍ كَمَا اقتُسِمَ اللَّحَامُ

When his sons divided it with swords

As meat is portioned when the feast is spread

تَمَخَّضَتِ المُنونُ لَهُ بِيَومٍ

أَتَى ولِكُلِّ حامِلَةٍ تِمَامُ

Misfortune was delivered of a day for him

That came, and for every pregnant woman, her time was full
