إِن تَلقَني تَلقَ لَيثاً في عَرينَتِهِ

مِن أُسدِ خَفّانَ في أَرساغِهِ فَدَعُ

If you meet a lion in his den,

An attacking lion in his lair, then let him be,

لا يَبرَحُ الدَهرَ صَيداً قَد تَقَنَّصَهُ

مِنَ الرِجالِ عَلى أَشداقِهِ القَمَعُ

He will never depart his prey, which he has stalked

Among men in their heavy armor.
