أصبحت ماليَ من عز ألوذبه
إلا التعرز بعد السيف والبدن
I have come to have no protecting might in which to seek refuge,
Save proud self-reliance, after the sword and coat of mail.
بعرضةٍ جانب الأدنون جانبها
والأهل بالشام والإخوان باليمن
In an exposed tract whose flank the nearest kin have shunned,
While my family are in the Levant, and my brothers in Yemen.
