1. وَفَرَسٍ عَلى المَسا

    وي كُلِّها مُحتَوِيَه

    A horse on all of the plains

    Encompassing them in their entirety

  2. فَما مَساويها لِمَن

    عَدَّدَها مُنتَهِيَه

    So what are its plains compared to one

    Who has numbered its limits?

  3. وَلَيسَ فيها خَصلَةٌ

    واحِدَةٌ مُستَوِيَه

    And in it there is not a single trait

    That is balanced.

  4. يا قُبحَها مُقبِلَةً

    وَقُبحَها مُوَلِّيَه

    How ugly is its approach!

    And how ugly is its departure!

  5. مالِكُها مِن خَجلَةٍ

    كَأَنَّهُ في مَخزِيَه

    Its owner is embarrassed

    As if he is in disgrace.

  6. مُستَقبَحٌ رُكوبُها

    مِثلُ رُكوبِ المَعصِيَه

    Riding it is as despised

    As committing sin.
