1. More excellent than the black streak of kohl for decoration,
And for winning the battleground and day of fighting,

2. Is its greenness a third, and two-thirds grayness.
So it's green in front and gray behind.

3. It has a flash of grayness between darkness,
Like a year of rainy seasons after a day of union.

4. It is armored with the full moon, light and darkness,
And is clad at its nose with a crescent moon.
