1. وَإِذا ما دَعَوا وَقَد نَشَطَ الرَو

    عُ خُيولَ العِدا مِنَ الأَجلالِ

    And whenever they called, terror having stripped

    the enemy’s horses of their coverings,

  2. شَمَّروا يَطلُبونَ ناشِئَةَ الصَو

    تِ خَناذيذَ كَالجُذوعِ الطِوالِ

    they girded themselves, pursuing the rising cry—

    stalwart warriors like tall tree trunks.
