Sol 6.1

  1. أَلَم تَرَنا عَلى اليَرموكِ فُزنا

    كَما فُزنا بِأَيامِ العِراقِ

    Did you not see us triumph at the Yarmouk,

    as we triumphed in the battle-days of Iraq?

  2. قَتَلنا الرومَ حَتّى ما تُساوي

    عَلى اليَرموكِ مَفروقَ الوِراقِ

    We slew the Romans until they were not worth

    at the Yarmouk even a shred of foliage.

  3. فَضَضنا جَمعَهُم لَمّا اِستَحالوا

    عَلى الواقوصَةِ البُترِ الرقاقِ

    We shattered their host when they turned

    toward al-Waqusa, maimed and frail,

  4. غَداةَ تَهافَتوا فيها فَصاروا

    إِلى أَمرٍ تَعَضَّلَ بِالذَواقِ

    the morning they tumbled headlong into it and came

    to a plight grievous to taste.
