وَأَفلَتَهُنَّ أَبو عامِرٍ

يُقَبِّلُ ناصِيَةَ الأَشقَرِ

Abu Amir set them free

Kissing the nape of the blond one

يَقولُ إِذا أَرهَقَتهُ الرِما

حُ إِن لَم تَزِد عَنَقاً تُعذَرِ

Saying, when spears have wearied him,

"If you do not lift your neck, you will be excused."

سَليباً يُخَفِّفُ حَتّى رَمى

مِنَ الرُعبِ بِالدِرعِ وَالمِغفَرِ

Gently drawing his scimitar until he cast

Terror into the coats of mail and shields.
