ربَّ أعمى أصمَّني عنْ عذولي

آهِ مِنْ سيفِ طرفِهِ المغمودِ

O Lord, blind and deafen me to my tormentors

Alas from the sheathed sword of his glance

قدُّهُ والذؤابتانِ رمتني

منْ طعينِ القنا وخفقِ البنودِ

His neck and the two forelocks have struck me

With the piercing of spears and the fluttering of flags
