1. As if the palaces between strength and dignity
Are flocks of birds seeking water to drink

2. And I had feared that I would die before
The kinsmen of Amr stood amidst lamenting women

3. It cured my soul, or came close to curing it
Their toppling of him from a polished saddle

4. The neighing of the mares in their tents
Is the shrieking of the summit in the perforated leather bucket

5. Columns that are rewarded over every column
A banner like the shadow of the hovering bird
