1. أَخفُّ القَوانِص جسماً وَروحا

    وَأجمُعُها لامورٍ أمورا

    The lightest of frames yet stoutest in spirit,

    The most prudent in matters, matters that matter,

  2. وأكرَمُها باشِقٌ حاذِقٌ

    يُساوي البُزاةَ وَيَشأى الصقورا

    The most generous - a wise and skillful knight,

    As brave as lions and as keen-eyed as eagles,

  3. يُقَلِّبُ عَينَين يا قوتتَينِ

    تَرى التِبرَ حَولهُما مُستَديرا

    With a gaze so powerful, those pair of eyes,

    They see specks of dust encircling all about.
