—Nor is the garment of life a robe of honour,
and so the pen is folded when it meets the meek;—
The road to death is the end of every living soul,
and its herald summons all the people of the earth;
Whoever is not struck down outright will merely grow old and weary,
until the Fates deliver him to extinction;
There is no benefit for a man in living
once he is counted among the cast-off trifles of this world. (1)

Al-Fujāʾah’s given name was Jaʿwanah ibn Māzin.

Qaṭarī carried on fighting for a little over ten years, and people greeted him with the title of caliph.
Al-Mubarrad (2) recorded his story in full in al-Kāmil, up to the moment when Sufyān ibn al-Abrad al-Kalbī marched against him, defeated him, and killed him.
Another report says that his horse stumbled and his thigh was broken in Ṭabaristān; he was then captured, and his head was sent to al-Ḥajjāj in 79 AH.
He was a gifted, eloquent orator of high standing—an unparalleled figure of his time.
