A prince with a radiant visage that has long

أمير له طلعة طالما

1. A prince with a radiant visage that has long
Appeared like a moon beneath the dark of night's completeness.

١. أَمِيرٌ لهُ طَلْعَةٌ طَالَما
بَدَتْ قَمَراً تَحتَ لَيلِ التَّمامِ

2. He strikes with opinion before the spears,
And with resolve before the swords.

٢. يُطاعِنُ بِالرأْي قَبلَ السِّنانِ
وَيَضرِبُ بِالعَزْمِ قَبلَ الحُسامِ

3. He leads them calmly like the winds,
Lightning flashing behind them in the darkness.

٣. وَيَقتادُها ضُمَّراً كالرِّياحِ
حُشِيَ البَرْقُ مِن خَلفِها في ضَرامِ

4. Resolve makes them fly without need of whips,
And rebuke holds them without need of reins.

٤. يَطِيرُ بِها العَزْمُ دُونَ السِّياطِ
وَيُمسِكُها الزَّجْرُ دُونَ اللِّجامِ

5. And we attribute the refinement of their training
To the refinement of their generous horsemen.

٥. وَنَنسُبُ تَهذِيبَ تَأْدِيبهنَّ
لِتَهذِيبِ فُرسانِهِنَّ الكِرامِ
