I called to Hamdan while the doors were shut [apparently intended; the text reads “the two parents”].
I called out to Hamdan while the gates were locked,
And one like Hamdan made opening the door easy.
And the likes of Hamdan make the opening of doors an easy feat;

وَجهٌ جَميلٌ وَقَلبٌ غَيرُ وَجّابِ
Like an Indian sword whose striking edges have not been blunted [probable intended reading].
Like the Indian sword whose striking edges are never restrained,
A handsome face and a heart that does not pound with fear.
A handsome face, and a heart that does not tremble.
