تبين ايها الناعي المشيد
أحقاً أنه أودى يزيد
Make certain, O loud-voiced herald of death:
Is it true that Yazid has perished?
ألم تعجب له أن المنايا
فتكن به وهن له جنود
Did you not marvel at him—that the fates
struck him down, though they were his soldiers?
فتكن به وكن يحدن عنه
إذا ما الحرب شب لها وقود
They struck him down, though they used to turn away from him
whenever war’s fuel burst into flame.
لقد عزى ربيعة ان يوما
عليها مثل يومك لا يعومد
It has indeed consoled Rabi‘a that a day
like yours will not return upon her (final verb uncertain).
Sol 6.1
