1. أَتَمُوتُ حَتفَ الأَنْفِ يَا ضِرْغَامُ

    وَتَنَالُ مِنْ عِزمَاتِكَ الأَسْقَامُ

    Will you die a natural death, O lion,

    And will ailments sap your resolve?

  2. غَشِيَتْ مَكَانَ النَّابِ مِنْكَ وَدُونَهُ

    لَوْ صَالَ أَوْصَالَ تُهَاضُ وِهَمامُ

    They have beset the place of your fang; before it,

    Were it to strike, limbs and a valiant warrior would be crushed.
