انظر إلى حال الزمان
وما اعتراه من الخلل
Behold the state of the age,
And the disorder that has befallen it:
القاق مد جناحه
شركا ليصطاد الجمل
The gnat spread out its wing
As a snare with which to catch the camel.
فجرى بذلك بينهم
حرب ولا حرب الجمل
Thus there arose between them
A war—but not the Battle of the Camel.
Sol 5.6
