كتائب صبري مُزّقت بعيونه

لذاك اشتكت ممّا بها في الهوادب

His patient battalions were torn by her eyes,

So I complained of what was between them in private.

يقولُ عذولي قد تشكّت جُفونُه

وذلك عيبٌ قلت لست بصائب

Uthooli says his eyelids have become wrinkled,

I said that is no blemish, you are not right,

ولا عيب فيهم غير أنّ سُيوفهم

بهنّ فُلولُ من قراع الكتائب

There is no blemish in them, except that their swords

Against them are remnants from striking the battalions.
