وَقُوريحٍ عَتَدٍ أُعِدَّ لِنيِّهِ

لَبنُ اللُقوحِ فَعادَ مِلءَ حِزامِه

With a grave, dignified air, he prepared his traveling provisions—

The milk of the oleaster filled his waterskin.

وَهبَ الوَليدُ بِسَرجِها وَلِجامِها

وَكَذاكَ ذاكَ بِسَرجِه وَلِجامِهِ

Al-Walid offered him the horse's saddle and bridle,

And likewise the other his saddle and bridle.

أَهدى المُقَنَّعُ لِلوَليدِ قَصيدَةً

كَالسَيفِ أُرهِفُ حدُّهُ بِحُسامِهِ

Al-Muqanna' gifted al-Walid a poem

Keen-edged like a sword in its eloquence.

وَلَهُ المَآثِرُ في قُريشٍ كُلِّها

وَلهُ الخِلافَةُ بَعد مَوت هِشامِهِ

He has glorious deeds among all Quraysh

And the caliphate after Hisham's death.
