1. A horse on all of the plains
Encompassing them in their entirety
١. وَفَرَسٍ عَلى المَسا
وي كُلِّها مُحتَوِيَه
2. So what are its plains compared to one
Who has numbered its limits?
٢. فَما مَساويها لِمَن
عَدَّدَها مُنتَهِيَه
3. And in it there is not a single trait
That is balanced.
٣. وَلَيسَ فيها خَصلَةٌ
واحِدَةٌ مُستَوِيَه
4. How ugly is its approach!
And how ugly is its departure!
٤. يا قُبحَها مُقبِلَةً
وَقُبحَها مُوَلِّيَه
5. Its owner is embarrassed
As if he is in disgrace.
٥. مالِكُها مِن خَجلَةٍ
كَأَنَّهُ في مَخزِيَه
6. Riding it is as despised
As committing sin.
٦. مُستَقبَحٌ رُكوبُها
مِثلُ رُكوبِ المَعصِيَه
