1. دَعَتكَ وَمِن سجِيَّتِكَ البدارُ

    رُؤوسٌ أَينَعَت مِنها ثِمارُ

    They called you, and haste is in your nature:

    heads whose fruits have ripened.

  2. فَيورِدُها ظِماء وَهيَ ماء

    وَيُصدِرُها رِواء وَهي نارُ

    So he brings them in thirsty, though they are water,

    and sends them away quenched, though they are fire.

  3. وَيقرضها أَعادِيه لجينا

    وَتَرجِعُ وَهيَ لَو سَلمَت نضارُ

    His enemies lend them silver,

    and they return as gold, if they survive.
