1. I have indeed witnessed the horses prancing
In the darkness of an impenetrable night
١. وَلَقَد شَهِدتُ الخَيلَ دامِيَةً
تَختالُ في أَعطافِها السُمرُ
2. Strutting with ornamented neckbands
With nothing left but havoc in their wake
٢. في ظُلمَةٍ مِن لَيلِ غَيهَبِها
ما إِن لَها إِلّا الرَدى فَجرُ
3. As though the blood gushing from the throats
Had stained their saddles an intense red
٣. فَكَأَنَّ مَجَّ دَمِ النَحورِ بِها
إِثرَ الطِعانِ مَقاوِدٌ حُمرُ
