1. A rooster's crow from India
Beware of its mighty kiss
١. ديكي صّياح من الهنود
حذارِ من باسه الشّديدِ
2. If its beak is sharp as a blade
Its claws are made of steel
٢. إنْ كانَ مِنقارُهُ فطاراً
فإنَّ كفّيهِ من حَديدِ
3. As if its crest is made of rubies
That glows on cheeks' roses
٣. كأنما عُرفُه عَقيقٌ
يرى على وردةِ الخدودِ
4. When enraged at its opponent
It pounces like a black lion
٤. لهُ إذا هاجَهُ نِفارٌ
منْ خَصمهِ وَثبَةٌ الأسودِ
