1. يا مُورِدَ الرُمحِ ظَمآناً وَمُصدِرَهُ

    يَومَ الكَريهَةِ رَيّاناً مِنَ العَلَقِ

    O you who lead the thirsty spear to drink and send it back

    on the day of battle, its thirst slaked with blood.

  2. قَد عَيَّدَ الناسُ في نُعماكَ في جُدُدٍ

    لكِنَّني بَينَهُم عَيَّدتُ في خَلَقِ

    The people have celebrated the feast, thanks to your bounty, in new clothes;

    but I, among them, celebrated it in worn-out clothes.
