ليومِfor a day of كَريهَةٍbattle وَسِدادُand the guarding of ثَغرِa frontier
ليومِ كَريهَةٍ وَسِدادُ ثَغرِ
They cast me aside—and what a champion they cast aside—
They have cast me aside—and what a young man they have cast aside,
for a grim day of battle and the defense of a frontier breach.
Fit for a day of battle and for guarding a frontier.
