1. وَقُوريحٍ عَتَدٍ أُعِدَّ لِنيِّهِ

    لَبنُ اللُقوحِ فَعادَ مِلءَ حِزامِه

    And a sturdy, mature steed, for whose fattening was prepared

    Milk from a nursing she-camel; he grew to fill his girth.

  2. وَهبَ الوَليدُ بِسَرجِها وَلِجامِها

    وَكَذاكَ ذاكَ بِسَرجِه وَلِجامِهِ

    Al-Walid gave her with her saddle and bridle,

    And that one likewise, with his saddle and bridle.

  3. أَهدى المُقَنَّعُ لِلوَليدِ قَصيدَةً

    كَالسَيفِ أُرهِفُ حدُّهُ بِحُسامِهِ

    Al-Muqanna presented al-Walid with a poem,

    Like a sword whose edge I hone with his blade.

  4. وَلَهُ المَآثِرُ في قُريشٍ كُلِّها

    وَلهُ الخِلافَةُ بَعد مَوت هِشامِهِ

    His are the glorious deeds throughout all Quraysh,

    And his is the caliphate after the death of his Hisham.
