1. وَطَعنَةِ خَلسٍ كَفَرغِ الإِزا

    ءِ أُفرِغَ في مِثعَبِ الحائِرِ

    And many a stealthy thrust, like the gush from a trough's inlet,

    poured into the channel of a pool,

  2. طَعَنتُ إِذا ما صُدورُ الكُما

    ةِ بُلَّت مِنَ العَلَقِ المائِرِ

    I dealt when the warriors' breasts

    were drenched in streaming blood.

  3. تُهالُ العَوائِدُ مِن فَرغِها

    تَرُدُّ السِبارَ عَلى السابِرِ

    The women visiting the wounded are terrified by its gush;

    it drives the probe back upon the one who probes.
