قلت للكلبتين إذ عجزت عن

1. I said to the two dogs, when they failed
To extract Yahya's molar after mighty strife-

١. قُلتُ لِلكَلبَتَينِ إِذ عَجَزَت عَن
ضِرسِ يَحيى مِن بَعدِ جُهدٍ عَنيفِ

2. How hard for you is wrestling out that fang
When dogs are weak at pulling sturdy bone!

٢. كَيفَ أَعياكِ نَزعُ ذَلِكَ وَالكَل
بُ بِسَلبِ العِظامِ غَيرُ ضَعيفِ

3. Their yelping brought this gentle, prompt reply-
Excusing them, they made their reasons known-

٣. فَأَعادَت مِنَ الصَليلِ جَواباً
بادَرَتنا مِنهُ بِعُذرٍ لَطيفِ

4. Dogs cannot wrench away a tooth secure,
Deep-rooted in a tightened jaw's repose.

٤. لا تُطيقُ الكِلابُ تَنزِعُ عِظماً
موثَقَ السُمرِ في قَرارِ كَنيفِ
