1. And I have faced many blue-eyed foes
Whose blows my shield has warded;
١. ولَرُبَّ زُرْقِ عِدىً لَقيتُ مُواجِهاً
كفّتْ أكُفُّهمْ وقايَةُ واقِي
2. I passed them by, they turned and stared,
Their daggers sheathed behind their backs.
٢. جاوَزْتُ والتَفَتُوا إليّ فخِلْتُهُمْ
جعَلوا ذَوابِلَهُمْ علَى الأعْناقِ
