لَنا هَجمةٌ للحقِّ إن نابَ والقِرى

وللجارِ ما تَنْفَكَّ نَهباً مقَسَّمَا

We have an attack for truth, if it turns against settlements and villages

And for the neighbor whatever does not cease to be apportioned plunder

إذا هي لم يَعْجَل إلى الضيفِ دَرُّها

أدرَّ اليماني من عَراقِبها الدَّما

If it does not hasten to the guest its goodness

The blood of its pillars flows
