1. يا حبذا يوم حوّاريت حيث مضى

    ما بين كرٍّ وفرٍّ وازدحام قدم

    Oh, how delightful was the day at Hawwarit, as it passed

    Amid charge and retreat and the jostling of feet.

  2. صادت أسابرنا طعناً وقد فتكت

    بين الحجال فحازت عدهم بنعم

    Our hawks hunted with piercing strikes and wreaked slaughter

    Among the partridges, securing their tally with blessings.
