1. لقد تمادى القتل بين الورى

    بالنار بالخنجر بالفاس

    Killing has indeed run rampant among humankind,

    With fire, with the dagger, with the axe.

  2. وآلم الناس ممضا لهم

    ما لقي الناس من الناس

    And people have been hurt, bitterly tormented,

    By what people have suffered at the hands of people.
