إِن أَذُق حَتفي فَقَلبي ذاقَهُ

إِن أَذُق حَتفي فَقَلبي ذاقَهُ

Though my fate takes a piece of me, my heart has tasted it

قَتَلَتهُ بِنتُ عَمروٍ بِالخُدَع

قَتَلَتهُ بِنتُ عَمروٍ بِالخُدَع

And Abu Malik, the ruler whom

And father of Malik, known for his sayings

The daughter of ‘Amr killed through trickery.

Whom the daughter of Amr had killed by deceit
