1. كانت من الشمسِ الصعابِ فراضَها

    عَزمٌ فرض الراسيات وذللا

    It was among the unruly, intractable steeds, but was tamed

    by a resolve that crushed the immovable mountains and subdued them.

  2. لبست حداداً من دخان حريقها

    لما تخرمَ جمعها واستؤصلا

    It donned mourning black from the smoke of its own burning,

    when its host was cut down and utterly uprooted.
