وَأَشقر ذي سَبقٍ عَلى الأَين طالَما

صدمتَ بِهِ مِن جَحفَلٍ بَعدَ جَحفَلِ

With blond forelock, always winning the race

You have charged again and again through army after army

أَرَدت لَهُ مَدحاً فَأَعجز وَصفه

فَكانَ عَلى قَول اِبن حجر معوّلي

I wanted to praise you but your description leaves me speechless

So I rely on Ibn Hajar's words about you

مكرٌّ مفرٌّ مُقبل مدبرٌ مَعاً

كَجلمود صَخر حطَّهُ السَيلُ مِن عَلي

Attacking and withdrawing, advancing and retreating all at once

Like a boulder firmly rooted, washed by floods from above
