اُلِينَ لداود الحديدُ كرامةً

يقدِّر منه السَّرد كيف يريد

The iron became soft for David as an honor

He appreciates how the narrative flows as he wills

ولانَ لكَ المرجانُ وهو حجارةٌ

ومعطفهُ صعبٌ المرامِ شديد

The coral bowed to you though it is but stones

And his coat of mail with aims so hard to achieve
