1. When they swagger in the ostentation of their steeds
And raiment, say, "Those are false lightnings!"
١. إِذا ما اِغتَدوا في رَوعَةٍ مِن خُيولِهِم
وَأَثوابِهِم قُلتَ البُروقُ الكَواذِبُ
2. And though they don the green and russet cloak of the grave
And depart, yet have the lowering clouds passed from thee.
٢. وَإِن لَبِسوا دُكنَ الخُزوزِ وَخُضرَها
وَراحوا فَقَد راحَت عَلَيكَ المَشاجِبُ
