وَدَعاكَ دَعوَةَ مُرهَقٍ فَأَجَبتَهُ

عُمَرٌ وَقَد نَسِيَ الحَياةَ وَضاعا

A weary soul called out to you in need, and you answered

A life now lost and scattered to the wind

فَرَدَدتَ عادِيَةَ الكَتيبَةِ عَن فَتىً

قَد كادَ يَترُكُ لَحمَهُ أَوزاعا

You turned a regiment away from a lad

Whose flesh was nearly torn to shreds
