ومَنزِلٍ نَزَلتْهُ ابتكارا

مُعاقِراً في ظِلِّه العُقارا

A campsite they pitched with innovation

Drinking beneath its shade a potion

ترى به مَعركةً جِهارا

وقَسطَلاً من حَولِها مُثَارا

You see around it a loud commotion

And warriors stirred up in agitation

مَحارَتينِ انضمَّتا جِوارا

قد مُنِعَت إحداهما القَرارا

Two steeds joined together in unison

One was denied any habitation

لا تَعدَمانِ لؤلؤاً صِغارا

تُطِيرُهُ حربُهما غُبارا

Never lacking small pearls

Their battle scatters dust afar

في موقفٍ يَستوقِفُ الأبصارا

يَكحُلُ من قسطَلِه الزُّوَّارا

In a stance that catches all eyes

Adorning all visitors with its castle's kohl

حتى يُشِيبَ منهمُ الأَشفارا

فلم نَزَلْ نأخُذُها نَهارا

Until their eyelids gray with age

We never stop taking it by day

محمرَّةً تُحسَبُ جُلَّنَارا

والريحُ يُدمي وقعُها الأَبشارا

Reddened, seen like pure gold

The wind's impact makes the glad tidings roar

حَرباً نُرى في حربِنا الأحرارا

حتى إذا الليلُ البهيمُ جارا

A battle we see in our war, the free

Until the beastly night starts its crawl

وأسبَلتْ ظُلمتُه الأستارا

وانتثرَ الثَّلجُ به انتثارا

And its darkness lowers its curtains

Snow is scattered about in profusion

كما أطرْتَ كُرسُفاً فطارا

كانت لنا نُوراً به ونَارا

As you've adorned a horse ready to bolt

For us it was light and fire through the night
