وَفَرَسٍ عَلى المَسا
وي كُلِّها مُحتَوِيَه
A horse on all of the plains
Encompassing them in their entirety
فَما مَساويها لِمَن
عَدَّدَها مُنتَهِيَه
So what are its plains compared to one
Who has numbered its limits?
وَلَيسَ فيها خَصلَةٌ
واحِدَةٌ مُستَوِيَه
And in it there is not a single trait
That is balanced.
يا قُبحَها مُقبِلَةً
وَقُبحَها مُوَلِّيَه
How ugly is its approach!
And how ugly is its departure!
مالِكُها مِن خَجلَةٍ
كَأَنَّهُ في مَخزِيَه
Its owner is embarrassed
As if he is in disgrace.
مُستَقبَحٌ رُكوبُها
مِثلُ رُكوبِ المَعصِيَه
Riding it is as despised
As committing sin.
