Khaysh, son of Rustam, protects while fully armed,

خيش ابن رستم يحمى وهو ممطور

1. Khaysh, son of Rustam, protects while fully armed,
The abandoned one complained of him, so he was shunned,

١. خَيشُ ابنِ رستمَ يَحمى وهو ممطورُ
أخنى الهجيرُ عليه فهو مهجورُ

2. And if only his nature would improve, even if his traits
Were scented with musk and camphor when the wind mixed with them,

٢. ولو يَطيبُ ولو عُلَّتْ شَرائِجُه
بالرَّاحِ خالطَها مِسْكٌ وكافورُ

3. He would perfume himself while the repentants sweat from him,
As if from the continuity of perfuming he is fully armed,

٣. يَرُشُّهُ والنُّدامى يَعْرَقُونَ به
كأنه لدوامِ الرَّشِّ ممطورُ

4. So if his personality in heat is inflamed,
Then his December in cold is frozen.

٤. فإنْ يَكُنْ خيشُه في الحَرِّ مُلتَهِباً
فإنَّ كانونَه في القُرِّ مقرورُ
