وَلَقَد عَلِمتُ لَتَعدُوَنَّ

عَلَيَّ شيمٌ كَالحَسائِل

I knew you would attack

With insults like spears

يَأكُلنَ أَوصالاً وَلَحماً

كَالشُكاعى غَيرَ جادِل

That eat flesh and bone

Like hungry jackals, not arguers.

يا طَيرُ كُلنِ فَإِنَّني

سَمٌّ لَكُنَّ وَذو دَغاوِل

O birds, eat, for I am

Poison for you, fanged and clawed.
