وَمُشِيراً لأُوذِسِ قالَ مَن ذَا
دُونَ أَتريذَ لاحَ بالجُثمَانِ
Roaming for Odysseus he asked who else
But great Ajax is there with the body?
وَهوَ أَوفى ظَهراً وأَوسَعُ صَدراً
ويَخُوضُ الصُّفُوفَ كالدِّهقانِ
Most loyal in the back and broad in chest
He storms ranks like a raging flood.
عَنهُ أَلقى سِلاحَهُ وبِهِم جا
لَ مُطاعَ الإِيعازِ والسُّلطانِ
He threw down his arms and went to them
Obeying orders and the sultan.
مِثلَ كَبشٍ بَهِيِّ صُوفٍ أَثِيثٍ
يَتَسامى في أَبيَضِ القُطعانِ
Like a lively ram with thick wool
Rising above the white sheep.
