قَوْسٌa bow أَرَنَّتtwanged فَهَاجَتْand so stirred
قَوْسٌ أَرَنَّت فَهَاجَتْ
بِهِin him هَوَىa longing لِلْبِرَازِfor single combat
بِهِ هَوَى لِلْبِرَازِ
A bow twanged, stirring
A bow twanged and was roused
In him a longing for single combat.
As he rushed to the field of spears
فَكَانَand so was أَوْحَىswiftest جَوَابٌa reply
فَكَانَ أَوْحَى جَوَابٌ
مِنْهُfrom him صَلِيلِthe clang of الجُرَازِthe keen-edged sword
مِنْهُ صَلِيلِ الجُرَازِ
Then came the swiftest reply:
So the clearest voice declared
From him, the clang of the keen-edged sword.
The sound of the rattling arms
