I sent them forth, lean-necked;
They sped to the goal like arrows.

فَمِن شُهُبٍ كَغُرّانِ المَساعي
وَمِنand among them دُهمٍblack ones كَأَخلاقِlike the natures اللِئامِof the ignoble
وَمِن دُهمٍ كَأَخلاقِ اللِئامِ
Some gray, like the brightest deeds,
And some black, like the natures of the ignoble.
