1. وَقَالوا بِمُقْلَتِهِ زُرْقَةٌ

    تشِينُ فَظَلَّ لَها مُطْرِقا

    And they said, “There is a blueness in his eye

    that mars it,” so he remained with his head bowed because of it.

  2. وَهَلْ يَقْطَعُ السَّيْفُ يَوْمَ الجِلا

    دِ إِذا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَتْنُهُ أَزْرَقا

    And does the sword cut on the day of combat,

    if its back is not blue?
