1. A young man from the clan of Khāqān has appeared
With a cheek whose brightness makes the sun seem dim

2. He has learned from the gazelles how to dart about
Passing by and returning playfully like a wave

3. He raced past us chasing a she-goat
Which shied from him as my heart quailed

4. I marvel at this gazelle who dares attack a bird
When his eyes have slain a fierce lion

5. Does this bird not realize you are a predator?
Has he not seen the livers of men my bow split open
