تَصَيَّفَ الحزنَ فانجابَت عَقيقَتُهُ
فيها خِنَافٌ وتَقريبٌ بِلا يَتَمِ
He summered in al-Hazn, and his foal-coat fell away.
There he moves with a swaying gait and a canter, without slowing.
يَنتَابُ بالعِرقِ مِن بُقعَانَ مَعَهَدةً
ماءَ الشَّريعَةِ أو فَيضاً مِنَ الأَجَمِ
On the sand ridge of Buqʿān he frequents a familiar haunt—
the water at the watering place, or overflowing water from the thickets.
أَهبَطتُهُ الرَّكبَ يُعديني وأُلجمُهُ
لِلنَّائباتِ بِسَيرٍ مِخذَمِ الأَكَمِ
I brought him down to the riders; he gallops with me, and I bridle him
for times of adversity, with a stride that cleaves the hillocks.
