وَبارِد طَبعٍ قَد تَقلَّد صارِماً

وَأَظهَرَ بَينَ النّاسِ إِفراطَ ضيرهِ

With an icy and austere disposition he bears

And manifests among the people his excessive harm

وَقالَ بِسَيفي أَو بِطَبعي أُبيدُكم

وَمَن لَم يَمُت بِالسّيفِ ماتَ بِغَيرِهِ

He said with my sword or my disposition I will destroy you

And whoever does not die by the sword will die by another means
