1. يَسعى إِلى المَوتِ وَالقَنا قِصَدٌ

    وَخَيلهُ بِالرُؤوسِ تَنتَعِلُ

    He hastens toward death while the spears are shattered,

    And his horses are shod with heads,

  2. كَأَنَّهُ واثِقٌ بِأَنَّ لَهُ

    عُمراً مُقيماً وَما لَهُ أَجَلُ

    As though he were certain that he has

    An everlasting life and no appointed end.
