وَلَم أَرَ قَوماً مِثلَ قَومٍ رَأَيتَهُم

عَلى وَلَجاتِ البَرِّ أَحمى وَأَنجَبا

I have not seen a people like the people I saw

On the summits of the land, more ardent and honorable

وَاِقتُل المرَّواسَ في كُلِّ مَجمَعٍ

إِذا ضَعضَعَ الدَهرُ الجُموعَ وَكَبكَبا

Kill the wavering one in every assembly

When time shakes the crowds and muddles them

فَنَحنُ حَبَسنا بِالزِمازِمِ بَعدَما

أَقاموا لَنا في عَرصَةِ الدارِ تُرتَبا

So we are imprisoned at Zimazim after

They prepared for us in the courtyard of the house an order

قَتَلناهُم ما بَينَ قَلعٍ مُطلَقٍ

إِلى القَيعَةِ الغَبراءِ يَوماً مُطَنَّبا

We killed them between one released fort

To the dusty plain one day cloaked
