And one destined for death rides its deterrence

ومسوم للموت يركب ردعه

1. And one destined for death rides its deterrence
Between the narrow boats and the perilous canal

١. وَمُسَوَّمٍ لِلمَوتِ يَركَبُ رَدعَهُ
بَينَ القواضِبِ والقنا الخَطّارِ

2. He approaches and the spears raise him as though he were
A stubborn thorn stuck in the claws of harm

٢. يَدنو وَتَرفَعُهُ الرِماحُ كأَنَّهُ
شُلوٌ تَنشَّبَ في مَخالِبِ ضارِ

3. So he fell dead while the winds console him
Indeed the evil-doers have short lives

٣. فَثَوى صَريعاً وَالرِياحُ تَنوشُهُ
إِنَّ الشَراةَ قَصيرَةُ الأَعمارِ

4. Orators whether you came to them as speakers
The brave ones of every battalion of warriors

٤. أُدَباءُ إِمّا جِئتَهُم خُطَباءُ
ضَمناءُ كُلِّ كَتيبَةٍ جَرّارِ
