Delivered during one of the days
of Siffin
I have seen your flight and your
dispersal from the lines. You were
surrounded by rude and low people
and Bedouins of Syria (ash-Sham),
although you are the chiefs of Arabs
and summit of distinction, and
possess dignity as that of the high
nose and big hump of the camel. The
sigh of my bosom can subside only
when I eventually see you
surrounding them as they
surrounded you, and see you
dislodging them from their position
as they dislodged you, killing them
with arrows and striking them with
spears so that their forward rows
might fall on the rear ones just like
the thirsty camels who have been
turned away from their place of drink
and removed from their water-
points.
