1. You revealed both cheeks, affectionate, tying the turban
With sharp canines, awe-inspiring fangs

2. A lion with a mane like pure wool, dyed
The color of undyed wool with ink dots

3. The Creator adorned him with excessive beauty
And drew lines on both cheeks from it

4. Heavy of body yet light-footed if he strides
Tested in daring, secure in step

5. He outpaces spotted hyenas in attack
He has become embroidered on his tunic

6. Until when he shook free from the head stall
And fulfilled for us the deed with what he pledged

7. I said, while happy with him
And the strap of his tunic twisted

8. Is it him or the horses racing the plain?
