صابَت شَعائِرُهُ بُصرى وَفي رُمَحٍ

مِنهُ دُخانُ حَريقٍ كَالأَعاصيرِ

His implements adorned Busra and on a lance

Smoke of a burning like gales arises

أَفنى بِذي بَعلَ حَتّى بادَ ساكِنُها

وَكُلُّ قَصرٍ مِنَ الخِمّانِ مَعمورِ

He destroyed Dhi Baal until its dwellers were gone

And every palace of lofty pillars was inhabited

فَأَعجَلَ القَومَ عَن حاجاتِهِم شُغُلٌ

مِن وَخزِ جِنٍّ بِأَرضِ الرومِ مَذكورِ

So a task distracted the people from their needs

From the sting of a jinni in the land of Rome famed
