«جفخت، وهم لا يجفخون بها، بهم شيم على الحسب الأغر دلائل»
I boasted of those qualities though they do not boast of them; they have virtues that testify to noble lineage.
The elements bihim and shiyam are placed so that their grammatical relationship is not immediately evident. “Jafakhtu” means “I boasted,” while “shiyam” denotes traits; even knowing both senses does not fully resolve the difficult arrangement.
The intended reading requires the listener to reconstruct the syntactic relationships rather than simply translate each word in sequence.
