يا أَهلَ جُزرَةَ لا حِلمٌ فَيَنفَعُكُم
أَو تَنتَهُنَ فَيُنجي الخائِفَ الحَذَرُ
O people of Juzrah, you have no good sense to help you;
O people of Jazirat, neither patience benefits you
or you must desist, so caution may save the fearful.
Nor does refraining, so the cautious one is rescued by fear
يا أَهلَ جُزرَةَ إِنّي قَد نَصَبتُ لَكُم
بِالمَنجَنيقِ وَلَمّا يُرسَلِ الحَجَرُ
O people of Juzrah, I have made ready for you
O people of Jazirat, I have set up for you
with the catapult, though the stone has not yet been launched.
The mangonel, when the stone is unleashed
