1. They eulogized a dog, whose family became distinguished through his perseverance,
And all the good they possessed was through him.

2. His master would treat him like a servant,
Sleeping closest to his bed.

With a black muzzle and tail tuft.

And the delay of his lips and length of his jaw.

5. The gazelles meet misery from his chasing,
He drinks the cup of difficulty through his resolve.

6. Hunting them twenty in his lair,
What a remarkable dog of unique make!

7. What a remarkable dog of unique make!
