      تأمل هنالك انى حصدت رؤوس الورى و زهور الأمل
      و رويت بالدم قلب التراب و اشربته الدمع حتى ثمل
      ســيجرفك الســيل ، سيل الدماء
      و يأكلك العاصف المشتعل
      Consider there, that where you have sowed the heads of man and the flowers of hope
      And drenched with blood, the heart of the soil and watered it with tears till drunk

      And the windy flame will devour you.
