1. The horse arena is like young women seeking music and splendor
Brides adorned by anklets no longer needing jewelry

2. A gray stead you'd think was solid rock
Though bared in its coverings without ornament

3. A white gave the night half its brilliance
And dawn leaned over it, leaving half unseen

4. A pink, dusk shadows play over its hide
When it lowered its tail and forelock in submission

5. A chestnut, the wind ruffled its leather
Without even buffing its skin

6. A roan, white leather dotted
With lines making no letter shapes

7. As if a painter trailing his brush
Let its tail sweep while the ink was still wet

8. Storms burst against the enemies
Razing the idolaters' land

9. Each part gazelle-like stealing glimpses
Do you see a forelock or an antelope's brow?

10. It grew used to the lonely desert and his herd
A gift judicious, though deeming him a weakling

11. Named "Noble" for when wanted to race
It doubled in speed
