In another poetry work illustrates how great the scattering of Hikayat Prang Sabii's literary works:
Despite the toxic Rencong and Sword,
Sabil War Hikayat more poisonous,
Dutch fear knees sway,
Story is prohibited from storing-reading.
In the days of the Dutch saga prohibited,
Who keeps multiple penalties,
Because the content stimulates war,
Raising the spirit of the Dutch opponent.
Thus the story contains poison,
Deadly disbelievers of the Dutch,
Depositors are punished unmercifully,
Hikayat seized, readers tortured.
Dutch feet wander around,
Nighttime busy looking,
For the sake of knowing who the depositors,
To the Netherlands the report was given.
For a moment,
Hikayat confiscated, owner in gari,
To the Dutch,
The storage is herded into the barracks.
Thus the saga stimulates war,
Enliven the spirit of news listeners,
Where the Netherlands meet in the fast,
Missing the love of the world.

Kendati beracun Rencong dan Pedang,
Hikayat Perang Sabil lebih berbisa,
Belanda takut lutut bergoyang,
Kisah dilarang menyimpan-membaca.
Di zaman Belanda hikayat dilarang,
Siapa menyimpan hukuman berganda,
Karena kandungan merangsang perang,
Mengobar semangat lawan Belanda.
Demikian kisah mengandung racun,
Mematikan kafir Belanda celaka,
Penyimpan dihukum tiada ampun,
Hikayat dirampas, pembaca disiksa.
Kaki tangan Belanda berkeliaran,
Siang malam sibuk mencari,
Demi diketahui siapa penyimpan,
Kepada Belanda laporan diberi.
Sesaat seketika sedadu pun datang,
Hikayat disita, pemilik di gari,
Kepada Belanda dipersembahka,
Penyimpan digiring ke dalam tangsi.
Demikian hikayat merangsang perang,
Membangkitkan semangat pendengar berita,
Dimana jumpa belanda di cencang,
Hilang melayang cinta dunia.
