أَلا طالَما رَسَّفتُ في قَيدِ مالِكٍ

فَأَصبَحَ في رِجلَيهِ قَيدي مُحَوَّلا

How long did I drag my chains as Mâlik's slave

Till my chains on his feet were changed!

وَأَطلَقَني النَضرُ اِبنُ عَمروٍ وَرُبَّما

بِكَفَّيهِ قَد فَكَّ الأَسيرَ المُكَبَّلا

But Nadr, Amr's son, has freed me,

And with his own hands has unbound my arms.
