لأبي الهيجاء أخلاق ثنت
نحوه عطف الثناء المنتخل
Abu al-Hayja has virtues that have turned
Abu Al-Hayja's morals are praised
the neck of choicest praise toward him.
Towards him inclines praise's branch
خلق سهل وحلم شمخت
هضبتاه فهو سهل وجبل
A gentle disposition, and forbearance—high tower
Of easygoing nature and lofty forbearance
its twin hills; thus he is both plain and mountain.
His plains and mounts both gentle and grand
ملك يخطر في قسطله
وظباه بين صبح وطفل
A king who strides proudly amid his battle-dust,
A king crosses his mind in his palace
and his sword blades are between dawn and dusk.
His gazelle grazes from morn to dusk's first light
