قِفْ نَبكِ أبياتَ القَريضِ فَإنَّها

أقْوتْ وكَمْ حُرِسَتْ مِن الإقواءِ

Recite the verses of al-Qarid for they are

More precious though well guarded from the covetous

ولَقَدْ يَقِلُّ لها بأَنْ تَبَلي دَمَاً

مَحْضاً لِوَحشتِها مِن الكُرَمَاءِ

And they would certainly shed pure blood

To alleviate their desolation with generosity
