1. They claimed that if what's masculine is made feminine, it won't lack masculinization
That's falsehood, for my tendency is towards life, a companion, and it remains plundering continuously

2. And death is like a lion that preys upon the living altogether, and does not spare the timid
Like what was said about Jarir, my eloquent friend who hunts the partridge and the lark

3. How much we quenched the thirst of the pigeon, drinking water or wine or one who's given milk
The towering, useful palm tree branches out from the backbone and inclines so it makes the heart compliant

4. An appointed divine decree called out to the Christians until they held the cross in high esteem
And the King of Abyssinia became king of people after he had intended to prepare a fleet

5. And the youth is like his name, the declension, this body experiences change and vicissitude
