1. وأنا لنُصبح أسيافنا

    إذا ما اصطبحن بيوم سفوك

    And indeed we give our swords their morning draught,

    When they drink at dawn on a blood-spilling day.

  2. منابرهن متون الأكف

    وأغمادُهُنَّ رؤؤُسُ الملوكْ

    Their pulpits are the backs of hands,

    And their sheaths are the heads of kings.
