1. The son of Manzur looked, appearing as though
A polished sword that silenced the echoes around him.
١. نَظَرنا اِبنُ مَنظورٍ فَجاءَ كَأَنَّهُ
حُسامٌ جَلا الأَصداءَ عَنهُ صَياقِلُه
2. Whiter than moonlight, wielding his spear
When brandished in battle, undoing opposers.
٢. أَغَرُّ كَضَوءِ البَدرِ يُعمِلُ رُمحَهُ
إِذا هُزَّ في الحَربِ العَوانِ عَواسِلُه
3. His hands, a sword and shielddependence;their glory
A companion with whom all who reach him sing praise.
٣. يَداهُ يَدٌ سَيفٌ يَعاذُ بِعِزِّها
وَنَفّاحَةٌ يَغني بِها مَن يُواصِلُه
