1. حملوا عصيهم وأحمل سُبحةً

    شتان بين سلاحهم وسلاحي

    They carried their staffs, and I carry prayer beads.

    How different their weapon is from mine!

  2. ظلمو فيما انتصر الحسام لظلمهم

    ولكم قصمت الجيش بالمسباح

    They did wrong, while the sword supported their injustice.

    And how often I have shattered the army with prayer beads!
