أَفارِسَ مِقنَبٍ وَأَميرَ مِصرٍ

نَزَلتَ عَنِ الكُمَيتِ إِلى الكُمَيتِ

A horseman with a lance and an Egyptian prince

You dismounted from the sleeveless robe to the sleeveless robe

فَتِلكَ حَميدَةٌ آدَتكَ حَيّاً

وَهَذي أَشعَرَتكَ خُفوتَ مَيتِ

So one ennobled you in life

And the other honored you in death
