And from ʿĀmir are young men like swords—
The crimson of their faces drips.
إِذاwhen صَدِئَrust القَومُthe people لاnot يَصدَأونَthey rust
إِذا صَدِئَ القَومُ لا يَصدَأونَ
كَأَنَّهُمُas though they were الذَهَبُgold الأَحمَرُred
كَأَنَّهُمُ الذَهَبُ الأَحمَرُ
When the people rust, they do not rust,
As though they were red gold.
