أصيبا بيوم مشوم عبوس
I would give my life for two dear brothers from Amid,
With my own life two brothers from long ago
Stricken on an ill-omened, grim day:
Were struck one sullen, star-crossed day.

وهذا كميت من الخندريس
This one was laid low by a bay among the poised steeds,
This one died from a blow of swords,
And that one by a dark-red, aged wine.
And that one died from the rending claws.
