O he who saw al- 'Abbas attacking the groups of the sheep-
وَ وَرَاهُ مِنْ اَبْنَآءِ حَيْدَرَ كُلِّ لَيْثِ ذِيْ لَبَدِ
like enemies followed by the sons of Haydar, who were as
أُنْبِئُتُ اَنَّ ابْنِي أُصِيْبَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَقْطُوْعَ يَدِ
courageous as lions. I have been told that my son was
وَيْلِي عَلَى شِبْلِيْ اَمَالَ بِرَأْسِهِ ضَرْبُ الْعَمَدِ

أَرْبَعَةٌ مِثْلُ نُسُوْرِ الرُّبْى قَدْ وَاصَلُوا الْمَوْتَ بِقَطْعِ الْوَتِيْنِ
off The ravenous lances crowded on their bodies. So, all of
تَنَازَعَ الْخِرْصَانُ اَشلَاءَهُمْ فَكُلُّهُمْ اَمْسُى صَرِيْعًا طَعِيْنَ

يَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي اَ كَمَا آَخْبَرُوْا بِانَّ عَبَاسًا قَطِيْعُ الْيَمِيْنِ
true what they have told that 'Abbas,s right hand was severed?
