وَكَم مَشهَدٍ نافَحتُ عَنهُ خُصومَهُ
وَكُلُّهُمُand each of them عَضبُsharp اللِسانِof tongue مُنافِحُa disputant

And at many a gathering I defended him against his adversaries,
And how many scenes his enemies provoked
And each of them was a sharp-tongued disputant.
Though all had but the anger of the tongue with which to gore
