With cheeks dyed in the hue of life

ومخلق الخدين من صبغ الحيا

1. With cheeks dyed in the hue of life
In a short coat stained with blood of his tunic

١. وَمُخَلَّقِ الخَدَينِ مِن صِبغِ الحَيا
في قُرطُقٍ بِدَمِ القَنيصِ مُخَلَّقِ

2. His glances are inclined to shed blood
And his arrows, both did not hesitate

٢. جُبِلَت عَلى سَفكِ الدِما أَلحاظُهُ
وَنِبالُهُ فَكِلاهُما لَم يُشفِقِ

3. Until, when he attended the battleground as an adversary
And birds (were flying) between soaring and diving

٣. حَتّى إِذا شَهِدَ المَقامَ مُبارِزاً
وَالطَيرُ بَينَ مُحَوِّمٍ وَمُحَلِّقِ

4. He distracted the birds with the beauty of his face
So they paused and he struck them with his rifle

٤. شَغَلَ الطُيورَ بِحُسنِ مَنظَرِ وَجهِهِ
فَتَوَقَّفَت فَأَصابَها بِالبُندُقِ
