Claude 2

  1. عَرَفْتُكُمْ وَالدَّمْعُ مِ الْعَيْنِ يَكِفْ

    لِفارِسٍ أَتْلَفْتُمُوهُ ما خُلِفْ

    I knew you as tears flowed from my eyes

    For a knight you loved who was no more

  2. إِنَّ النَّشِيلَ وَالشِّواءَ وَالرُّغُفْ

    وَالْقَيْنَةَ الْحَسْناءَ وَالْكَأْسَ الْأُنُفْ

    Bread dipped in stew, roasted meat

    A beautiful jug and overflowing cup

  3. وَصَفْوَةَ الْقِدْرِ وَتَعْجِيلَ اللَّقِفْ

    لِلطَّاعِنِينَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْخَيْلُ قُطُفْ

    The choicest stew and hastily served bread

    For warriors whose horses were plucked off

  4. تَعْدُو بِغِثْيانِ الْوَغَى وَتَعْتَرِف

    عَدْوَ الظِّباءِ فِي مَداهِيسِ الْحُقُفْ

    Galloping with the nausea of battle raging

    Foe of gazelles in the meadows of sand dunes
