1. لِلَّهِ دَرّ أَبي السنان

    مِن فارِس شهم الجَنانْ

    How splendid is Abu al-Sinan,

    a knight of valiant heart!

  2. تَخشاهُ آسادُ الرِجا

    لِ كَما تَهيمُ بِهِ القيانْ

    The lions among men fear him,

    just as the singing girls are enamored of him.

  3. فَبِبَأسِهِ يُشقي العِدى

    وَبِحُسنِهِ يُصبي الحيانْ

    So by his might he brings misery to his foes,

    and by his beauty he enchants the two clans.
