1. If you have faltered in pursuing glory, know that
Only through perseverance may one wield a sharpened sword.

2. It was but a fleeting eclipse, then daylight emerged again,
The moon is never fully eclipsed before it is full.

3. A sudden illness has struck your body,
A raging wind that soon shall pass.

4. So it seems that when you rose, Huteiyah
Rose for poetry, or the wise Ahnaf rose.
