In it, the flashing of swords is seen, as though it were
In it the glinting of swords can be seen, as though
The cheeks of beautiful women, and the swirling dust their veils.
They are the cheeks of beautiful maidens flushed with wine.

يَهْدي إِلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ من أَبْعَدِ المَدى

وكَيْفَ يَضِلُ الذِّئْبُ والرّائِدُ النَّسْرُ
The wolf finds its way to it from the farthest reaches;
From the farthest horizons the wolf sends tribute to it,
And how could the wolf go astray, when the vulture is the scout?
For how could the wolf go astray with the eagle to guide it?
