And a young gazelle, the dye of whose sharbush cap
With a hue like the dye of his well-worn cloak
is like dragon’s blood in color and effect.
In its color, and his deeds like indigo

He bears a slender spear in his stature,
Imprisoned by his pride, withered and worn
and his glance is sharper than a cutting sword.
His glance more piercing than a spear's point

From a red horizon like indigo
