وَهَمُ دَلَفُوا لِهُجرٍ في خَمِيسٍ
رَحِيبِ السَربِ أَرعَنَ مُدَّجَجِ
And did they march upon Hajar in a mighty host,
its ranks spread wide, towering and fully armed,
بكلِّ مُجَرَّبٍ كالليثِ يَسمُو
إِلى أَوصالِ ذَيّالٍ رِفَنِّ
with every seasoned warrior, lionlike, rising
toward the limbs of a soft-bodied man who trails his robe?
