شكرتني الجرد الصلادم إذ رأت
دون البلاد توطني صهواتها
The lean, stalwart steeds thanked me when they saw
that, rather than any land, I made their backs my home.
وإذا ظفرت بلذة لي ذلة
فيها زجرت النفس عن لذاتها
And whenever I found a pleasure that held abasement for me,
I rebuked my soul there and kept it from its desires.
Sol 5.6
