1. سائِلُ مُراداً يُنْبِيكَ عالِمُها

    أَنَّا نُعِلُّ القَنا وَنُنْهِلُها

    Ask Murād; one who knows it will tell you

    That we give the lances their second draught and their first.

  2. وَنُخْمِدُ الحَرْبَ حينَ يُضْرِمُها

    أَهْلُ الوَغَى تارَةً وَنُشْعِلُها

    And we quench war when it is kindled

    By warriors—at times—and we set it ablaze.
