صَعبَةً تَنزو نِزاءَ الجُندُبِ
How did you serve her to Abu al-Ghamr as his morning draught—
How you have greeted Abu al-Ghamr about her
unruly, leaping like a grasshopper,
Difficult, descending with the gait of a wild ass

تَتَّقي الصَوتَ بِمَرٍّ عَجَبِ
frisking like a chestnut mare on her racecourse,
The blond one raced in her track
shying from sound with a wondrous dash?
Avoiding sound with wondrous bitterness

The rider, if he puts her to the task, rides
Whoever rides her, if she is stubborn with him
through the night; and she captures the captor.
Will plunge into the night and capture the fugitive

Daughter of the vine, the sun her wet nurse—and never
The daughter of generosity, whose companion is the sun, yet
did she grow up in the lap of a mother and father.
She did not crawl into the lap of a mother or father

She was seized by force; what was imprinted upon her body
She was robbed of what she engraved on her body
by the non-Arab's foot is visited upon the Arab's head.
The leg of a stallion with the head of an Arab
