1. خَلَطوا الصَوارِمَ بِالقَنا وَتَعَمَّموا

    بِالبيضِ وَاِجتابوا العَجاجَ دُروعا

    They mingled keen swords with spears and turbaned themselves

    With helmets, and donned battle-dust as armor.

  2. قَومٌ إِذا هَتَفَ الصَريخُ بِنَصرِهِم

    فَجَروا عَليهِ مِنَ الظُبى يَنبوعا

    A people who, when a caller cries out for their aid,

    Make a fountain of sword-edges gush forth upon him.
