لَعَمري لَئِن كانَ اِبنُ عَمرَةَ مالِكٌ

تَنَهَّكَ ظُلماً سادِراً غَيرَ مُقصِرِ

By my life, if Umarah's son has wronged you

Oppressing you unrelentingly, with no excuse,

لِتَنكَشِفَن عَنهُ ضَبابَةُ فَسوِهِ

لِضَغمَةِ رِئبالٍ مِنَ الأُسدِ مُخدِرِ

His dark fog will surely lift from you

When the claws of a fierce lion rend and tear him.

إِذا عَلِقَت أَسبابُهُ القِرنَ غادَرَت

بِهِ أَثَراً كَالجَدوَلِ المُتَفَجِّرِ

Once its ropes are flung over the dome of his head,

They will leave of him no trace, like a bursting stream.
