1. O Mayy, if you lose a band of men you bore,

    or are robbed of them—for Time is ever a robber—

  2. ʿAmr, ʿAbd Manāf, and he whom

    Mecca’s broad valley knew—ʿAbbās, who would not brook humiliation:

  3. a lion, a mighty lion, bold beside his lair;

    at al-Raqmatayn he has cubs and lionesses.

Sol 5.6
