لَهُ وَجنَةٌ يَجلو سَناها الدَياجِيا
And a graceful youth from among Khāqān’s sons appeared.
A young man from the clan of Khāqān has appeared
He has a cheek whose radiance dispels the darkness.
With a cheek whose brightness makes the sun seem dim

يَمرُّ وَيَأتي لاعِباً مثلَ ماهِيا
He learned his skittishness from the wide-eyed gazelles.
He has learned from the gazelles how to dart about
He goes and comes in play, just as they do.
Passing by and returning playfully like a wave
وَمَرَّand he passed بِناby us يَعدُوrunning وَراءَafter إِوَزّةٍa goose
وَمَرَّ بِنا يَعدُو وَراءَ إِوَزّةٍ

وَقَد ذعِرَت مِنهُ كَذُعرِ فُؤادِيا
And he passed by us, running after a goose.
He raced past us chasing a she-goat
And it had taken fright at him, just like my heart.
Which shied from him as my heart quailed

وَقَد كَسَرت عَيناه أُسداً ضَوارِيا
I marveled at this gazelle felling a bird,
I marvel at this gazelle who dares attack a bird
While his eyes had already felled ferocious lions.
When his eyes have slain a fierce lion

Is this bird unaware that you are a predator?
Does this bird not realize you are a predator?
Has it not seen men’s livers bleeding?
Has he not seen the livers of men my bow split open
