1. نَكُبُّ الكُماةَ لِأَذقانِها

    إِذا كانَ يَومٌ طَويلُ الذَنَب

    We cast the armored warriors down upon their chins,

    When the day has a long tail.

  2. كَذاكَ الزَمانُ وَتَصريفُهُ

    وَتِلكَ فَوارِسُ يَومِ العِنَب

    Such are time and its vicissitudes,

    And those are the horsemen of the Day of al-ʿInab.
