When the fox went forth in the morning from his den,
When the fox emerged from his lair
When the fox went early from his lair,
Seeking a livelihood for his cubs,
Seeking sustenance for his cubs
Seeking provision for his young to share,

عارَضتُهُ في سَنَنِ اِمتِيارِهِ
Joyful, having stirred from his haunt,
The hyena stirred up from his den
Joyful, stirred by hunger's dizzy round,
I intercepted him on his foraging path
I confronted him in his habit of choice
I crossed his path upon his hunting ground,
بِضَرِمٍwith a ravenous hound يَمرَحُprances فيin شِوارِهِhis trappings
بِضَرِمٍ يَمرَحُ في شِوارِهِ
فيin الحَلَقِthe rings الصُفرِyellow وَفيand in أَسيارِهِhis straps
في الحَلَقِ الصُفرِ وَفي أَسيارِهِ
With a ravenous hound, prancing in his trappings,
With a young hound frolicking in his courtyard
With a fiery hound prancing in his gear,
In yellow rings and in his straps,
With a yellow ring around his neck and on his forearms
Decked in brass rings and leathern straps severe.

قَد نَحَتَ التَلويحُ مِن أَقطارِهِ
His lowest rib aflame from his leanness.
Inflamed in his chest from his wrath
His flanks were burning, taut from discipline,
Slimming had pared away his sides,
Carving warnings from his claws
Carved by the elements, polished and thin,
مِنfrom بَعدِafter ماthat كانَhe was إِلىto أَصبارِهِhis entire frame

غَضّاً كَسَتهُ الخورُ مِن عِشارِهِ
After he had been, throughout his frame,
After he had been close to his burrow
After he had been full-fleshed to the bone,
Tender, clothed in flesh by the rich milkers among his pregnant camels,
His coat plucked by the thorns of his domain
Tender and sleek, on camel-milk grown,
أَيّامَdays لاnot يُحبَسُhe is confined مِنbecause of عِثارِهِhis stumbling
أَيّامَ لا يُحبَسُ مِن عِثارِهِ
وَهوَand he طَلىًa fawn لَمnot yet يَدنُcame near مِنto شِفارِهِhis blades
وَهوَ طَلىً لَم يَدنُ مِن شِفارِهِ
In days when he was not restrained for his stumbling,
Days when he could not be restrained from his prey
In days he ran unchecked, though he might fall,
While still a fawn, not yet come near his blades,
While he was a worn out fox not nearing his prime
A pampered pup, far from the butcher's stall.

يُساسُis trained فيهِin it طَرَفَيboth ends of نَهارِهِhis day
يُساسُ فيهِ طَرَفَي نَهارِهِ
In a dwelling that screened him from his visitors,
In a dwelling screening him from visitors
Kept in a shelter, hid from prying eyes,
Where he was trained at both ends of his day.
Where he spends both sides of his day
Tended with care beneath the changing skies,
حَتّىuntil إِذاwhen أَحمَدَproved praiseworthy فيin اِبتِيارِهِhis testing
حَتّى إِذا أَحمَدَ في اِبتِيارِهِ
وَآضَand became مِثلَlike القُلبِa bracelet مِنof نُضارِهِits pure gold
وَآضَ مِثلَ القُلبِ مِن نُضارِهِ
Until he proved worthy when tested,
Until when he excelled in his selection
Until, proved worthy in the testing field,
And became like a bracelet of pure gold,
And picked his prey like a fresh heart
He shone like gold that pure refineries yield.

يَجمَعُ قُطرَيهِ مِنَ اِنضِمارِهِ
As though drawn together by his hobble,
It was as if he was estranged from his companions
As though drawn tight upon a tethering rope,
Drawing his two ends together in his compactness.
Bringing his drops together from his concealment
He gathers his limbs to give his speed full scope.
وَإِنand if تَمَطّىhe stretches تَمَّcomes to a total فيin أَشبارِهِhis spans

عَشرٌ إِذا قُدِّرَ في اِقتِدارِهِ
And when he stretched, his measure in spans came to
If he pounced, it would be into his prey
And when he stretches, vast is his span's extent,
Ten, when his full length was measured.
Ten, if destined by his capability
Ten measured lengths, were one on measuring bent.

As though his two jaws, when he bared his teeth,
It was as if his jaws upon his attack
As if his jaws, when he reveals his bite,
Were a studding of nails along his rim.
Were pegs upon his head
Were rows of nails driven in a rim tight.

As though behind where his eyelids met,
As if behind where his lips met
As if beneath the meeting of his eyes,
Ghada-wood embers blazed without cease.
Were embers he stirred up in his borrowing
The ember of Ghada wood forever lies.

إِلّا بِأَن يُطلَقَ مِن عِذارِهِ
A wolf–hyena cross: when he scented the air, you could not reason with him,
A hearing that if given relief would not be confused
A wolf-born hunter; catch the wind, he flies,
Except by letting him off his halter.
Unless released from its deafness
Waiting only for the leash to let him rise.

لَفتَ المُشيرِ مَوهِناً بِنارِهِ
Then he darted off like a star descending,
So he inclined like a planet in its descent
Then he swooped like a meteor from the height,
With the sweep of one signaling late at night with his fire.
He turned the advisor spineless with his fire
Like a signaler's fire flashing in the night.

Until, when he sped into his gallop,
Until when he pounced in his advance
Until, redoubling speed within the race,
His claw-points pierced his ears.
He tore his ears with the tips of his claws
His sharp claw-tips pierced the ears in the chase.

Until, when he plunged into his dust,
Until when he pounced in his dust
And when he plunged into the dust's clouded sphere,
A rough brute grappled with him in his dust.
The gallant one churned him in his soil
A savage force wrestled the quarry near.

وَقَدَّ عَنهُ جانِبَي صِدارِهِ
Then he wrenched a joint from his backbone,
So his joints were disjointed from his spine
He shook the very joints of the spine's thread,
And tore both sides of his breast-covering off him.
And he shook off both his shoulders
And tore the vest from off the chest and head.

No good comes to the fox from his early start.
No good in the fox and his schemes
No good came to the fox in his early start,
No good comes to the fox from their early start.
No good in the fox and his schemes
No good came to the fox, for all their early heart.
