1. وَمِن عامِرٍ غِلمَةٌ كَالسُيو

    فِ جِريالُ أَوجُهِهِم يَقطُرُ

    And from ʿĀmir are young men like swords—

    The crimson of their faces drips.

  2. إِذا صَدِئَ القَومُ لا يَصدَأونَ

    كَأَنَّهُمُ الذَهَبُ الأَحمَرُ

    When the people rust, they do not rust,

    As though they were red gold.
