1. أَقولُ لِصاحِبَيَّ بِذاتِ غِسلٍ

    أَلِمّا بي عَلى الجَدَثِ المُقيمِ

    I say to my companion in a place of washing,

    "Come with me to the everlasting grave

  2. لِنَنظُرَ كَيفَ سَمَّكَ بانِياهُ

    عَلى حِبّانَ ذي الحَسَبِ الكَريمِ

    Let us look how its builder has constructed it

    On the bones of the noble lineage

  3. قَتَلنا تِسعَةً بِأَبي لُبَينى

    وَأَلحَقنا المَوالِيَ بِالصَميمِ

    We have killed nine with my father Lubayna

    And dispatched the loyalists to their fate"
