The Coursers
By the snorting chargers,
— Ali Quli Qarai
by the strikers of sparks [with their hoofs],
— Ali Quli Qarai
by the raiders at dawn,
— Ali Quli Qarai
raising therein a trail of dust,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and cleaving therein a host!
— Ali Quli Qarai
Indeed man is ungrateful to his Lord,
— Ali Quli Qarai
and indeed he is [himself] witness to that!
— Ali Quli Qarai
And indeed he is an avid lover of wealth.
— Ali Quli Qarai

— Ali Quli Qarai
