فَتىًa youth لِرَغيفِهِfor his loaf قُرطٌan earring وَشَنفٌand an upper-ear ornament
فَتىً لِرَغيفِهِ قُرطٌ وَشَنفٌ
وَخِلخالانِand two anklets مِنof خَرَزٍbeads وَشَذرِand gold pieces
وَخِلخالانِ مِن خَرَزٍ وَشَذرِ
A youth whose loaf has an earring and an upper-ear ornament,
A lad with his loaf, a tunic and leggings,
A lad whose loaf becomes his ear’s adornment,
And two anklets of beads and gold pieces.
And anklets of blue glass and tin.
And anklets strung from beads and nuggets of gold;
إِذاwhen فَقَدَhe loses الرَغيفَthe loaf بَكىhe weeps عَلَيهِover it
إِذا فَقَدَ الرَغيفَ بَكى عَلَيهِ
بُكاthe weeping of الخَنساءِal-Khansa إِذwhen فُجِعَتshe was bereaved بِصَخرِof Sakhr
بُكا الخَنساءِ إِذ فُجِعَت بِصَخرِ
When he loses the loaf, he weeps over it
When the loaf was lost he wept for it,
If he loses the loaf, he weeps upon it,
As al-Khansa wept when bereaved of Sakhr.
As Al-Khansa’ wept for Sakhr.
Like Khansa’s wailing for her brother Sakhr;
وَدونَand barring access to رَغيفِهِhis loaf قَلعُthe uprooting of الثَناياthe front teeth
وَدونَ رَغيفِهِ قَلعُ الثَنايا
وَحَربٌand war مِثلَlike وَقعَةِthe battle of يَومِthe day of بَدرِBadr
وَحَربٌ مِثلَ وَقعَةِ يَومِ بَدرِ
And to reach his loaf means front teeth torn out,
Without his loaf all teeth are drawn,
To take his bread is to have one's teeth torn out,
And war like the battle on the day of Badr.
And war rages like Badr’s fray.
In war as fierce as the Day of Badr.
