1. O you, the boastful one with delusions
Among the evils of the black birds

2. With beauty, calmness and free choice
Suspicious testimonies for a false claim

3. Listen, for what informed you as the expert
From the one with distinguished, proficient qualities

4. His qualities are solidified wisdom
He did not make the black ones like the francolin

5. Francolins are the birds of goodness
More deserving of the aforementioned merit

6. This is the praise of their famous beauty
O their beauty above the highest abodes

7. In a sublime, constructed enclosure
When they murmur from the males

8. In the yard of females and males
And dispel the jealous like the jealous

9. Repeated cooing upon repetition
As if in their loud calls

10. Is the singing of flutes and pipes
Or the buzzing of bees in the arid land

11. From the oozing sap, my friend the deceiver
With frowning foreheads in their turning

12. And eyes purer than crystal
In a glossy red glow

13. The sparks of rubies flashed
To the anklets of smooth legs

14. Like matched pearls gathered
Detailed paired from the scattered

15. Above short beaks depicted
Like the croaking of frogs and the crow’s caw

16. With feathers like the maidens’ bracelets
And legs in red silk

17. Plucked like the back of polished leather
Between the smooth bellies and backs

18. Among the adorned and bejeweled
How many of them have rolled up

19. Short-tailed and well-groomed
Of a smooth-sailing vessel sent into the seas

20. Splitting the awe of maidens and waves
As it did with sorrow and plateau

21. Cutting through like the panicked fleeing steed
Traveling days of journey in a day

22. Surpassing the pouncing of eagles
And the swooping of falcons and hawks

23. Like the diving severing falconer
Or a flying arrow seeking prey

24. Or the swipe of fire in the igniter’s hand
Until it fell to the nest like the downpour

25. And shook the burrow with calling
And they exalted, what an exaltation

26. Many a time with it is a bearer of good news
More fulfilling than the oath of the warner
