فَقَدتُ حَياةً بَعدَ طَلحَةَ حُلوَةً

إِذا شَعَبتَهُ أَن يُجيبَ شَعوبُ

I lost the sweetness of life after Talha

When you call upon him, the people respond

يُصَمُّ رِجالٌ حينَ يُدعَونَ لِلنَّدى

وَيُدعى اِبنُ عوفٍ لِلنَّدى فَيُجيبُ

Men stay silent when they are called to help

Yet Ibn 'Awf is called to help and he responds

وَذاكَ اِمرؤٌ مِن أَيِّ عَطفَيهِ يَلتَفِت

إِلى المَجدِ يَحوِ المَجدَ وَهوَ قَريبُ

He is a man who turns

Toward glory, desiring glory, and it is near
