duraid, thanks a lot
duraid Nov 18, 2006:
So the second part of the poem might mean: “and we toppled or overthrown the bey from his throne” That in case we understand حدرناه as overthrowing someone or toppling him.
duraid Nov 18, 2006:
It could be that the “bey” here refers to the ottoman Sultan who occupied Saudi and was toppled by Al-Saud family.
Randa El Nomeir (asker) Nov 18, 2006:
Yes. but what does it mean in this context. I know this meaning but I don't think it fits here.
