1. وَجُنودٍ رَمَيتُهُم بِحَريقٍ

    يَتَلَظّى إِذا أَحَسَّ بِريحِ

    And troops I assailed with a blaze

    That flares whenever it senses a breeze.

  2. قَرَّتِ العَينُ إِذ رَأَتهُم سُقوطاً

    كَيَسارٍ مِنَ الصَنيعِ المَليحِ

    The eye rejoiced when it saw them falling,

    Like Yasār, through fine handiwork.

  3. طالَما قَد حَمَوا عَلَيَّ دِياري

    وَنَفَوني عَن طيبِ ريحِ السُطوحِ

    Long had they guarded my dwellings against me,

    And banished me from the rooftops’ pleasant breeze.
