ومَجُودٍ قَد اسجَهَرَّ تَنَاوِي

رَ كَلونِ العُهونِ في الأَعلاقِ

A generous one who stayed up long nights

Drinking the wine of eyes in the depths

عَن خَريفٍ سَقَاهُ نَوءٌ مِنَ الدَّل

وِ تَدَلَّى وَلم تُوارَ العَراقي

Of an autumn a starry night from a bucket rain quenched

He hung his head and did not conceal his desire

لَم يِعبهُ إلاَّ الأَداحيُّ فقَد وَبَّ

رَ بَعضُ الرِّئَالِ في الأَفلاقِ

None consoled him but the white sand dunes for he longed

And missed some gazelles in the horizons

وإرانُ الثِّيرانِ حَولَ نِعَاجٍ

مُطفِلاتٍ يَحمِينَ بِالأَوراقِ

And the sight of calves around ewes

Trespassing that were heated by the leaves

وتَراهُنَّ كالأعِزَّةِ في الَمح

فِلِ أو حِينَ نِعمَةٍ وارتِفاقِ

And you see them like deer in the refuge

Either time of blessing or intimacy

قَد تَبَطَّنتُه بِكَفَّيَّ خَرَّا

جٌ مِنَ الخَيلِ فاضِلٌ في السِّباقِ

I saddled it with my two hands a horse

Superior in running from the horses

يَسَرٌ في القِيادِ نَهدٌ ذَفيفُ العَد

وعَبلُ الشَّوَى أَمينُ العَراقِ

Easy to lead, a gentle slender body

And stalwart in determination, trustee of Iraq

لَم يُقَيِّل حَرَّ الَمقيظِ ولَم يُل

جَمِ لِطَوفٍ ولا فَسَاد نزِاقِ

It did not stop the heat of midday nor avoid

Going around or corruption of dissenters

غيرُ تَيسيره لرَغباءَ إن كا

نَت وَحربٌ إن قَلَّصَت عَن ساقِ

But to facilitate for those who desire if they

Were and war if it minimized from a leg

وَلهُ النَّعَجةُ الَمرِيُّ تُجاهَ ال

رَّكبِ عِدلاً بِالنَّابئ الِمخراقِ

And for him a mare facing the

Rider fairly with the protruding nail

والخِدَبُّ العاري الزَّوائدِ ملِ

حَفَّانِ داني الدِّماغِ لِلآماقِ

And the one legged bare of excess adornments

The brain bleeder for the depths
