وحاصرَها العزيزُ حصارَ فتحٍ

وعزَّ بأخذِهِ الحصنَ المنيعا

The mighty one laid siege, to conquer and subdue,

And gloried in taking the fortress, firm and true.

وظنوا بالعزيزِ العجزَ عنها

فجاءَ إليهِ عاصيها مطيعا

They thought the mighty one, would fail and could not win,

But those who disobeyed, now obedient moved in.
