1. I eulogize a dog unsurpassed
Pure-bred coursing through the veins
١. أَنعَتُ كَلباً لَيسَ بِالمَسبوقِ
مُطَهَّماً يَجري عَلى العُروقِ
2. Brought by angels from Saluq
As if carved into the polished bow
٢. جاءَت بِهِ الأَملاكُ مِن سَلوقٍ
كَأَنَّهُ في المِقوَدِ المَمشوقِ
3. When charging a foe nothing holds him back
Playing between the plain and the rugged hills
٣. إِذا عَدا عَدوَةً لا مَعوقٍ
يَلعَبُ بَينَ السَهلِ وَالخُروقِ
4. His zeal for the chase cures all longing
If a beast passed by mount Ayyuq
٤. يَشفي مِنَ الطَردِ جَوى المَشوقِ
فَالوَحشُ لَو مَرَّت عَلى العَيّوقِ
5. He brings it down bloody-mouthed
Such are his most sacred rights
٥. أَنزَلَها دامِيَةَ الحُلوقِ
ذاكَ عَلَيهِ أَوجَبُ الحُقوقِ
6. Every hunter's livelihood secured by him
٦. لِكُلِّ صَيّادٍ بِهِ مَرزوقِ
