1. صَمَتُوا فَقامَ فَتًى دَعَوا ذُولُونَ أُو

    ميذٍ فَبرَّزَ بالنَّفائِسِ يَطمَعُ

    They fell silent; then rose a youth they called Dolon, son of Eu-

    medes; he stepped forth, coveting treasures.

  2. فَيجٌ تَوَفَّرَ عِندَهُ بِخَزائِنٍ

    فُولاذُهُ ونُضَارُهُ المُتَجَمِّعُ

    A courier, in whose treasuries there abounded

    His steel and his amassed gold.

  3. وَوَحِيدُ والِدِهِ لِخَمسِ شَقائِقٍ

    أَعداهُمُ جَرياً وَوَجهاً اَشنَعُ

    And his father's only son, with five sisters,

    The swiftest of them in running, and the ugliest in face.
