لا يَغررنك إِذا ما اِستَبدَلوك بِمَن

لا يَرهض الخَصم أَو يَقوي عَلى البَطش

Don't be deceived if they should replace you with one

Who neither contends against foes nor wields might in blows

فَدوك بِالغَير إِذ خافوا عَلَيك غَداً

كَما فَدا اللَه إِسماعيل بِالكَبش

They sacrificed you for another out of future fears

As God sacrificed Ishmael with a ram long ago
