إِن كانَ ما بُلِّغتَ عَنّي فَلامَني

صَديقي وَحُزَّت مِن يَدَيَّ الأَنامِلُ

If what has been conveyed to me about myself is true

Then my friend has betrayed me and taken the reins from my hands

وَكَفَّنتُ وَحدي مُنذِراً في ثِيابِهِ

وَصادَفَ حَوطاً مِن عَدُوِّيَ قاتِلُ

And I have wrapped myself alone in my garments as a warner

And have come across a garrison of my lethal enemy
