أحاطت جنودُ الأرض بابن سَوادةً

وعاجلَهُ الحتْفُ المُتاحُ أشائِمُه

The soldiers of the earth surrounded the son of Sawada

And death which reveals its omens hastened to him

ووافاهُ خَطْبٌ لا ينادي وليدُه

وعاداهُ ليثٌ لا تُرَدُّ عزائمُه

And he was met by a fate which does not call out its child

And a lion opposed him whose determination cannot be thwarted
