1. May God water Surr Man Ra’a—Samarra—with rain,

    and al-Karkh, the five villages, and al-Jisr—the Bridge.

  2. They tested my mettle, and I was bitter—

    free, when no free man was free.

  3. After my forbearance, do not think yourselves safe from harm:

    How many a green branch has turned to embers.

Sol 5.6
