1. عدا عليك القطارُ بالعَجلِ

    فكان فيها نهايةُ الأجَلِ

    The train assailed you with its wheels,

    And in them lay the end of your allotted life.

  2. غلا من الحقد صدرهُ وغدت

    عيناهُ محمرّتين كالشُّعَل

    Its breast boiled with hatred, and

    Its eyes turned red like flames.

  3. نافستَهُ فاستشاط من غضبٍ

    وانتثلت من جعبةِ الحيلِ

    You rivaled it, so it flared with anger,

    And you drew forth from the quiver of stratagems.
