أَو هَيَّبانٌ نَجيبٌ نامَ عَن غَنَمٍ

أَو هَيَّبانٌ نَجيبٌ نامَ عَن غَنَمٍ

مُستَوهِلٌ في سَوادِ اللَيلِ مَذؤوبُ

مُستَوهِلٌ في سَوادِ اللَيلِ مَذؤوبُ

Or a timid, noble man who slept heedless of his sheep,

Or a noble sublime one who slept away from sheep

Terrified in the blackness of night, his sheep preyed upon by wolves.

Melted into the blackness of the night
