وَأَبيَضَ قَد نَبَّهتُهُ بَعدَ هَجعَةٍ

فَقامَ يَشُدُّ السَّرجَ وَالمَرءُ ناعِسُ

And white I had awakened after a slumber

So he rose tightening the saddle while the man was drowsy

عَلَيهِ دِلاصٌ كَالأَضاةِ وَبَيضَةٌ

تُضيءُ كَما يُذكي مِنَ النارِ قابِسُ

Upon it a coat like lightning and whiteness

Illuminating as embers are kindled from fire
