1. يَستَصحب القَوس أَخو همة

    لِعَزمِهِ تَذعن أَقرانهُ

    The bow accompanies a brother of resolve

    His determination makes his peers submit

  2. سِهامُهُ يَجمَعُها شادِنٌ

    بِمِثلِها تُرشق أَجفانَهُ

    His arrows are gathered by a quiver

    With their like his eyelids are shot

  3. أَو رَكب الطَرف بِها مُهجَتي

    مَنزِلَهُ الرَحب وَمَيدانَهُ

    Or he rode the eyelid with them, my love

    His abode is spacious and his field
