فالجِذْعُ حَنَّ وأنَّ مِن جَزَعٍ

فالجِذْعُ حَنَّ وأنَّ مِن جَزَعٍ

The trunk has bent, for it mourned the separation from Taha

at parting from Taha after he had preached.

ثَمَرٌ يَطِيبُ بِمَنْهَلٍ عَذُبَا

ستَراهمُ لِجَهَنَّمٍ حَطَبَا

Thus they have become like propped up firewood

Fuel for Hell prepared
