1. صافنٌ طِرْفٌ ثلاثٌ سنُّهُ

    كمْ بهِ كسَّرْتُ جمعاً وَهْوَ مفردْ

    A thoroughbred, one hoof poised, three years old;

    How often with him I shattered a host, though he is but one!

  2. جرِّدوهُ وانظروا مِنْ أوجهٍ

    في تصاريفِ الثلاثيِّ المجرَّدْ

    Strip him bare, and look from several angles

    at the conjugations of the bare triliteral.
