1. هاكَ الكَمِيَّ وَهاكَها اَفراسَهُ

    ذُولُونُ لَم يَكُ مائِناً مُتَكَذِّبا

    Behold the armored warrior, and behold his horses.

    Dolon was not lying or fabricating falsehoods.

  2. فالبَأسُ بَأسُكَ صُل فأَنتَ مُدَجَّج

    اَوَ شَأنُنا ذا اليَومَ أَن نَتَنَكَّبا

    For yours is the valor; charge, for you are fully armed.

    And is our task this day to turn aside?

  3. حُلَّ الجِيادَ وإن تَشَأ فأَحُلُّها

    وَاضرِب بأَعناقِ الرِّجالِ مقُضِّبا

    Untie the steeds; and if you wish, I will untie them.

    And strike at the men's necks, severing them.
