1. If your war has now become seasoned by repeated fighting,

    for I was not among those who brought it on.

  2. Rather, the sons of Sawdāʾ stirred it up

    and fed its fire for whoever would warm himself at it.

  3. [Deep-crimson?]—I am not one to fail you; rather,

    I shall strive now that it has reached its furthest bound.
