ألم تَسَلِ الفوارسَ من سُليمٍ
بنَضلَةَ وهو موتورٌ مُشيحُ
Have you not asked the horsemen of Sulaym
about Nadla, bereaved and unavenged, advancing resolutely?
رأوه فاز دَروه وهو خِرقٌ
وينفعُ أهلَهُ الرجلُ القبيحُ
They saw him and scorned him, though he was nobly generous.
Even an ugly man can benefit his people.
فلم يخشوا مَصالتَه عليهم
وتحت الرغوةِ اللّبَنُ الصريحُ
So they did not fear his onslaught against them.
Yet beneath the froth is pure milk.
فكرَّ عليهمُ بالسيف صَلتاً
كما عضَّ الشَّبا الفرسُ الجموعُ
Then he wheeled upon them with his sword drawn,
as a horse bit the spearpoints amid the massed hosts.
فأطلقَ غُلَّ صاحبه وأردى
جريحاً منهمُ ونجا جريحُ
He loosed his companion's fetter and struck down
one of them, wounded; and he escaped wounded.
