Charge as best you can upon a white-blazed, white-stockinged steed,
Connect with the one veiled in beauty as much as you can,
so that I may repeat its praise and sustain it.
So that I may repeat his praise and esteem him,
فَكَأَنّfor it is as though غُرّتهits forehead blaze الثُريّاthe Pleiades أَشرَقَتshone forth
فَكَأَنّ غُرّته الثُريّا أَشرَقَت

وَكَأَنَّما فَلق الصَباح أَديمُهُ
For its forehead blaze is like the Pleiades shining forth,
For his radiant cheeks have illuminated,
and its coat is like the breaking dawn.
As if the dawn has split his delicate skin.
