وَتَحْمِلُنَا غَدَاةَ الرَّوْعِ جُرْدٌ عَرَفْنَ لَنَا نَقَائِذَ وَافْتُلِينَا
On the fearful morning of battle, sleek, short-coated horses carry us; some were recovered from enemies, while others were reared among us.
Jurd is the plural of ajrad, a fine horse with a short coat. Naqāʾidh refers to animals recovered from an adversary; wa-ftulīnā points to rearing and weaning.
Two histories of ownership appear side by side: recovery in conflict and domestic breeding. Together they express the tribe’s lasting connection with its cavalry animals.
