1. لي في الشّجاعةِ سهمٌ ما ضربتُ بهِ

    إلاّ رمى السيفَ قِرْني وهوَ مُنهزمُ

    In valor I have an arrow; whenever I strike with it,

    My opponent casts away his sword, fleeing in defeat.

  2. والضربُ بالسهمِ لم تنطقْ به لغةٌ

    والرميُ بالسيفِ لم تَسمع بهِ الأمَم

    And no tongue has spoken of striking with an arrow,

    And the nations have never heard of throwing with a sword.
