ذَكَرتَ القَرومَ الصيدَ مِن آلِ هاشِمٍ

وَلَستَ لِزورٍ قُلتَهُ بِمُصيبِ

You mentioned the prey of hunting from the family of Hashim

And you didn't say it falsely out of resentment

أَتَعجَبُ إِن أَقصَدتَ حَمزَةَ مِنهُمُ

نَجيباً وَقَد سَمَّيتَهُ بِنَجيبِ

Are you surprised if you meant Hamza among them

As a noble one, and you named him al-Najeeb

أَلَم يَقتُلوا عَمراً وَعُتبَةَ وَاِبنُهُ

وَشَيبَةَ وَالحَجّاجَ وَاِبنَ حَبيبِ

Didn't they kill Umar, Utbah and his son

And Shaybah, al-Hajjaj and Ibn Habeeb

غَداةَ دَعا العاصي عَلِيّاً فَراعَهُ

بِضَربَةِ عَضبٍ بَلَّهُ بِخَضيبِ

One morning al-Aasi called Ali, so he startled him

With an angry blow, staining him with blood
