1. وَصَلَتانٍ فَلتانٍ أَنمُرِ

    كَأَنَّهُ إِذا هَوى لِلأَعفَرِ

    And a strong, swift, speckled one—

    As though, when it swoops toward the tawny one,

  2. مُعَنبَرٌ يَهوي إِلى مُزَعفَرِ

    بِأَبيَضٍ مِنَ البُزاةِ أَقمَرِ

    It were ambergris-scented, swooping toward one saffron-dyed.

    With a white hawk, bright as the moon,

  3. مُنَمنَمُ الصَدرِ كَصَدرِ الدَفتَرِ

    بِمِثلِ أَهدابِ جُفونِ الأَحوَرِ

    Its breast finely patterned like a notebook's opening page,

    With marks like lashes on a dark-eyed one's lids.
