1. And it was the healing of the soul from what had befallen it
Then it would have been, had I obtained armor by the sword
١. وَكانَت شِفاءَ النَفسِ مِمَّا أَصابَها
غَدَاتَئِذٍ لَو نِلتُ بِالسَيفِ أَدرَعا
2. And I swear, had I reached him, I would have clothed him
With a sword, when it penetrates the bone, most swift
٢. وأُقسِمُ لَو أَدرَكتُهُ لَكَسَوتُهُ
حُساماً إِذا ما خالَطَ العَظمَ أَسرَعا
