برجهید و کونبرهنه سوی صف ** ذوالفقاری همچو آتش او به کف
He saw that a fierce black lion from the jungle had suddenly rushed upon the centre of the army;
دید شیر نر سیه از نیستان ** بر زده بر قلب لشکر ناگهان
(That) the Arab horses were demoniacally excited, (that) every stable and tent was in confusion;
تازیان چون دیو در جوش آمده ** هر طویله و خیمه اندر هم زده

شیر نر گنبذ همیکرد از لغز ** در هوا چون موج دریا بیست گز
The captain was manful and intrepid: he advanced, like a furious lion, to meet the lion.
پهلوان مردانه بود و بیحذر ** پیش شیر آمد چو شیر مست نر
He smote (it) with his sword and clove its head; (then) at once he hastened (back) to the tent of the beauty.

Illa diva, facie venusta lunae simili praedita, virilitatis ejus admiratione obstupuit. [That moon-faced idol, sweet of countenance, was amazed at his manhood.]3890
آن بت شیرینلقای ماهرو ** در عجب در ماند از مردی او
Protinus cum eo magna cupidine coivit: illae duae animae statim unitae evaserunt. [She joined with him (eagerly) in that moment with lust: those two souls immediately became united.]
جفت شد با او به شهوت آن زمان ** متحد گشتند حالی آن دو جان
