"If you do not know what death is, then look at Hāni' and Ibn 'Aqīl in the marketplace. Look at a hero whose face the sword has covered with wounds and another who fell dead from a high place. The command of the governor struck them down, and they became legends for those who travel on every road. You see a corpse whose color death has changed and a spattering of blood that has flowed abundantly, A young man who was even more bashful than a shy young woman yet was more decisive than the polished blade of a two-edged sword. Is Asmā' riding in peace a mount that moves at walking pace While Madhhij seeks vengeance against him? All Murād throng around him. Each one of them, whether a questioner or a questioned, is apprehensively watchful. If you don not avenge your two brothers, then be harlots, satisfied with little."
