In the morning we came across a thin and gaunt colt

فصادفنا في الصبح علج مصرد

1. In the morning we came across a thin and gaunt colt
Who imagines the nearby hill is challenging him at dawn

١. فصَادَفَنا في الصُّبحِ عِلجٌ مُصَرَّدٌ
إذا ما غَدا يَخَالُهُ الغِرُّ صادِعا

2. He prances about quickly like boats made of wood
So he despaired when the hopeful ones retreated

٢. يُطيفُ بِسِتٍّ كالقِسِيِّ قَوارِبٍ
فأَيأَسَ إذ أَدبَرنَ مَن كانَ طامِعا

3. With hunched bones he walks all hunched over
Shaking a branch with dangling wet ends

٣. مُضَمِّمَ أَطرافِ العِظامِ مُحَنِّباً
يُهَزهِزُ غُصناً ذا ذَوائِبَ مائِعا

4. Our boy turned him towards the canal
So he sped to the pasture striking the ground while running

٤. أَحَالَ عَلَيهِ بِالقَنَاةِ غُلامُنا
فَأَذرِع بِه لِخَلَّةِ الشَّاةِ راقِعا
