1. And my yearning toward the clouds is my guide
Wearing a long loose robe fluttering around him.
١. وَعَطّافٍ عَلى الغَمَراتِ نَحوي
تَحُفُّ بِهِ المُشَقَّفَةُ الطِوالُ
2. I left my spear vibrating in its sheath
As it had room between his ribs to penetrate.
٢. تَرَكتُ الرُمحَ يَخطُرُ في حَشاهُ
لَهُ مابَينَ أَضلُعِهِ مَجالُ
3. It says, as my spear leaned toward him,
"For something you did not contend with men."
٣. يَقولُ وَقَد تَعَدَّلَ فيهِ رُمحي
لِأَمرٍ ماتَحاماكَ الرِجالُ
