صُل ما اِستَطَعت عَلى أَغرّ محجّلٍ

صُل ما اِستَطَعت عَلى أَغرّ محجّلٍ

كَيما أُكرّر مَدحه وَأُديمُهُ

كَيما أُكرّر مَدحه وَأُديمُهُ

Charge as best you can upon a white-blazed, white-stockinged steed,

Connect with the one veiled in beauty as much as you can,

so that I may repeat its praise and sustain it.

So that I may repeat his praise and esteem him,

فَكَأَنّ غُرّته الثُريّا أَشرَقَت

فَكَأَنّ غُرّته الثُريّا أَشرَقَت

وَكَأَنَّما فَلق الصَباح أَديمُهُ

وَكَأَنَّما فَلق الصَباح أَديمُهُ

For its forehead blaze is like the Pleiades shining forth,

For his radiant cheeks have illuminated,

and its coat is like the breaking dawn.

As if the dawn has split his delicate skin.
