1. O Lord of a house in a spacious wilderness
Far between fish and chickpea
١. يا رُبَّ بَيتٍ بِفَضاءٍ سَبسَبِ
بَعيدِ بَينَ السَمكِ وَالمُطَنَّبِ
2. For young men who rose early with dogs
They have trained them in the best discipline
٢. لِفِتيَةٍ قَد بَكَّروا بِأَكلُبِ
قَد أَدَّبوها أَحسَنَ التَأَدُّبِ
3. From every hot the ribs reach
It grows in fetters the youth of the trained one
٣. مِن كُلِّ أَدفى مَيَسانِ المَنكِبِ
يَشُبُّ في القَودِ شُبوبَ المُقرَبِ
4. It makes its ears reach the edge of the claw
So it does not miss a rabbit
٤. يُلحِقُ أُذنَيهِ بِحَدِّ المِخلَبِ
فَما تَني وَشيقَةً مِن أَرنَبِ
5. When they have a he-goat or zebra
And a skin stripped from a fox
٥. عِندَهُمُ أَو تَيسُ وُبلٍ عَلهَبِ
وَفَروَةٍ مَسلوبَةٍ مِن ثَعلَبِ
6. Turned over or not turned over
And a trained she-camel and mother of cubs
٦. مَقلوبَةِ الجِلدَةِ أَو لَم تُقلَبِ
وَعَيرُ عافاتٍ وَأُمُّ تَولَبِ
