1. لَهُ راحَتا كَفَّينِ في راحَتَيهِما

    مِنَ البَحرِ فَيضٌ لا يُنَهنَهُ زاخِرُه

    He has two hands, within whose palms

    is a flood from the sea, its swelling tide unrestrained.

  2. أَلَم تَرَ نَصراً يَضمَنُ الطَعنَ وَالقِرى

    إِذا الريحُ هَبَّت أَو ذَوى السَرحَ ذاعِرُه

    Have you not seen Nasr undertake spear-fighting and hospitality,

    when the wind blows, or a raider drives off the grazing herd?

  3. وَلَو أَنَّ مَجداً في السَماءِ وَعِندَها

    تَناوَلَهُ نَصرٌ إِلَيهِ يُساوِرُه

    And even if glory were in heaven, there too

    Nasr would grasp it, springing up toward it.
