أَبلِغ زِياداً إِذا لاقَيتَ جيفَتَهُ

أَنَّ الحَمامَةَ قَد طارَت مِنَ الحَرَمِ

When you meet his corpse, tell Ziyad

The dove has flown from the sanctuary.

طارَت فَما زالَ يَنميها قَوادِمُها

حَتّى اِستَغاثَت إِلى الصَحراءِ وَالأَجَمِ

She flew, but he kept sending his henchmen after her

Until she cried for help in the desert and open country.
