1. Still you glance around haughtily
Unperturbed by confusion or arrogance
١. مَا زِلْتَ تَنْظُر فِي عِطْفَيْكَ أبَّهَةً
لاَ يَرْفَعُ الطَّرْفَ مِنْكَ التِّيهُ والصَلَفُ
2. When you saw them at dawn, you deemed them
Lionesses guarding their cubs in the den
٢. لَمَّا رَأَيْتَهُمُ صُبْحاً حَسِبْتَهُمُ
أسْدَ العَرِينِ حَمَى أشْبَالَهَا الغَرَفُ
3. You summoned your steeds when swords clashed against them
Come to me, but they swayed not nor drew nearer
٣. نَادَيْتَ خَيْلَكَ إذْ عَضَّ السُّيُوفُ بِهَا
عُوجِي إِلَيَّ فَمَا عَاجُوا وَمَا وَقَبُوا
