1. The swords of the sons of Tamim have indeed relieved

    the Basran of the tight constriction at his throat,

  2. on the morning he called, with none to aid him,

    when souls had already leapt to the collarbones.

  3. Malik and the armored warriors of Amr came to him

    on lean-bellied, marked, noble-bred steeds,

  4. with blows that send necks flying,

    and spear-thrusts like the mouths of braying asses.
