He has two gazes, of generosity and might, that stirred
He has a gaze of generosity and might that stirred
Two clouds pouring forth bounties and blood.
Two clouds that poured with virtues and blood
فَكَمْso how often أَحْيَتِrevived الأُولَىthe first لُبَانَةَcherished wish مَعْشَرٍa group of people

وَكَمْ أَرْدَتِ الأُخْرَى حُشَاشَةَ مُجْرِمِ
How often the first has revived a people's cherished wish,
So how much did the first enliven a group of friends
And how often the other has extinguished a wrongdoer's last spark of life!
And how much did the other strike down a band of criminals
