وغُرٍّ على غُرٍّ جِيادٍ كأنَّما

قوائمُها يوم الطِّرادِ قوادِمُ

And horses upon horses, as though

And noble ones upon noble steeds, as though

Their forelegs on the day of the charge are arrivals

Their legs, on the day of the charge, were wings;

إذا ابتدروا في مَأقِطٍ فرِحَت بهم

صدُورُ المذاكي والقَنا والصوارِمُ

When they initiate in a plain, then the breasts

When they rush into the thick of battle, rejoice in them

Of lances, arrows, and swords rejoice in them

The chests of the war-horses, the lances, and the sharp swords.
