The tribe of Mughira has for me in your quarters a horse

بني المغيرة لي في حيكم رشأ

1. The tribe of Mughira has for me in your quarters a horse
Whose shade your dark-complexioned women suffice instead of its night talk

١. بني المُغيرة لي في حيِّكم رشَأٌ
ظِلالُ سمركم تُغنيه عن سَمُره

2. With it the steed of the eminent man is adorned with a hero
With a needle-like brightness from its incisor tooth

٢. يُزهى به فَرَسُ الكُرسيّ من بَطَلٍ
بِإبرةٍ مثل الهُدب من شُفُره

3. When its thread gleams, you would think it
A shooting star that ran and the light is in its trace

٣. إذا تَأَلَّق عنها الخيط تَحسبها
شهابَ رجم جَرى والنور في أَثره

4. Every tongue wishes that it would have for it
A substitute when it is done with the inscription of its ink

٤. يودّ كل لسانٍ أن يكون لَها
لِبداً إذا فرغت بالرَقم من حِبَره
