قالَت وَزهاها وَلَهُ الفِتيانِ

ما لي وَلطاعِنين في الأَسنانِ

She showed her beauty, and for him were the young men,

I have nothing to do with slanderers of teeth,

بالأَدهم لاقى رَجُلُ قَومٍ سَفَهاً

ما الأَشهَبُ خَيلُ ذَلِكَ المَيدانِ

Al-Adham met a foolish man,

Not the gray-haired one, a horse of that battlefield.
